This bill reauthorizes a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention program focused on prenatal and postnatal health, extending federal funding for maternal and child health initiatives. The legislation extends the program's authorization from 2024 through 2028, replacing the previous authorization period that ended in 2023. The bill was introduced by Senator Patty Murray and two other senators and addresses substance use prevention as it relates to pregnant women and new mothers. The measure ensures continued federal support for programs designed to protect the health of pregnant individuals and their infants, though the bill text does not specify the exact funding amounts allocated to the program.
