Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Natural Resources, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Data to Save Moms Act authorizes $10 million annually from 2027 through 2031 to establish and strengthen maternal mortality review committees in states and tribal organizations, with funding designed to increase community participation from racial and ethnic minorities and individuals with lived experience of maternal loss. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct a comprehensive review of how maternal health data is collected and measured, assess barriers to gathering demographic information, and issue a report within one year. Additionally, the legislation funds two separate research initiatives—a $2 million annual study on maternal mortality among American Indian and Alaska Native populations and a $10 million annual grant program for minority-serving institutions—both running through 2029-2031, to investigate disparities and develop policy recommendations. These provisions are designed to address disproportionately high maternal mortality rates in communities of color and Native American populations by improving data collection, community input, and targeted research into the causes and solutions for maternal health crises.
