This bill extends federal funding for family-to-family health information centers for five additional years, pushing the authorization deadline from 2024 to 2029. Family-to-family health information centers are programs that provide support and resources to families with children who have special health care needs or disabilities. The bill amends the Social Security Act to continue these services, which help connect families to information, training, and peer support. The legislation was introduced in February 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the bill text, as it simply extends the existing authorization period rather than appropriating new funds.
