Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Rehire CDC Division employees
If enacted, the Secretary of Health and Human Services would have to reinstate any employee of the CDC Division of Blood Disorders and Public Health Genomics who was removed on or after January 1, 2025. This applies when the removal was part of an agency action (including a reduction in force under subchapter I of chapter 35 of title 5, U.S. Code, or an agency reorganization) that removed 3 percent or more of the Division's total employees within a 60-day period. Reinstatement would restore the employee's job and likely restore pay and benefits.
Grants to collect sickle cell data
If enacted, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the CDC Director, would carry out a Sickle Cell Data Collection program. The program would award grants to States to collect and maintain data on sickle cell incidence, prevalence, patient demographics, and healthcare use. Grants would require collaboration with prior Sickle Cell Data Collection grantees and CDC to increase standardization of surveillance methods. The bill would authorize $10,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to carry out the program.
