117-hr-4693, Global Malnutrition Prevention and Treatment Act of 2021
This law creates a government-wide USAID framework to prevent and treat malnutrition globally. It directs targeted programs, data-driven planning, and coordination with domestic and international partners to scale evidence-based nutrition services in priority countries. - Families and children: Focuses on reducing severe malnutrition among children under age five and pregnant and lactating women by expanding proven nutrition interventions and promoting fortified, nutritious foods. - USAID and health systems: Requires USAID to allocate resources, strengthen health systems, and use rigorous monitoring and evaluation to make nutrition programs more effective and accountable. - Partners and financing: Directs the Administrator to mobilize other federal agencies, multilateral donors, United Nations agencies, civil society, NGOs, the private sector, and the US International Development Finance Corporation to build local capacity, improve supply chains, accelerate research, and broaden finance partnerships.
117-hr-1667, Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act
Supports mental health and resilience for health care professionals. It creates grants, an education and awareness campaign, best-practice guidance, and federal evaluation to reduce suicide risk, stigma, and barriers to care. - Health care professionals: Funds training, suicide-prevention best practices, and a national campaign to reduce stigma and encourage use of mental health and substance use disorder services. - Students and institutions: Hospitals, health professions schools, community health centers, rural health clinics, professional associations, tribal organizations, and government entities can get grants for training and capacity building. Grants may last up to three years. - Rural and workforce-shortage areas: Prioritizes health professional shortage areas and rural regions for awards and requires Secretary reports plus a Government Accountability Office (GAO) review within four years to assess program effectiveness and duplication. Authorizes $10 million per year for the education initiative and $35 million per year for mental health programs for 2022–2024, increasing federal spending over that period.
117-hr-1448, PAWS for Veterans Therapy Act
This law creates a Department of Veterans Affairs pilot to provide canine training therapy for veterans diagnosed with post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The pilot must start within 180 days, run five years, and operate at at least five VA medical centers in geographically diverse locations, and the law also requires the VA to provide a commercially available veterinary insurance policy for dogs given to eligible veterans. - Veterans: Eligible veterans with PTSD can join a program that trains them to work with service dogs and may adopt a trained dog if it is clinically appropriate. Participation does not stop veterans from getting other VA PTSD care. - Service dog training organizations: The VA may contract with accredited nongovernmental trainers. Contracts must require certified instructors, forbid shock or prong collars, use positive reinforcement, prevent unsupervised access to trained dogs, tailor training to PTSD symptoms, and provide follow‑up support including lifelong help if adoption occurs. - Oversight and evidence: The VA will collect data on participation, veteran satisfaction, and clinical improvements. The VA must arrange a Government Accountability Office briefing within one year of the pilot start and a GAO report within 270 days after the pilot ends.

117-hr-1193, Cardiovascular Advances in Research and Opportunities Legacy Act
This law expands federal efforts to increase research, awareness, and prevention of valvular heart diseases. It directs the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services to support research, hold a mitral valve prolapse workshop, fund prevention and awareness projects, and improve public health data on cardiac arrests. - Researchers: The NIH and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute can fund studies using advanced imaging and other methods to learn causes and risk factors. The Institute must convene a workshop within two years to identify research needs and recommendations for mitral valve prolapse, including risks for sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. - Patients and families: HHS can award grants and contracts and provide technical assistance to improve public awareness of symptoms and risk factors. Projects may be prioritized for populations most affected by valvular heart diseases. - Public health and clinicians: The law supports continuing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention activities, aims to improve data quality on out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, and requires HHS to identify and share best practices for health care providers. Authorizes up to $28 million per year in appropriations for fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to support these research, prevention, awareness, and data activities on valvular heart diseases.
117-hr-5142, To award posthumously a Congressional Gold Medal, in commemoration to the servicemembers who perished in Afghanistan on August 26, 2021, during the evacuation of citizens of the United States and Afghan allies at Hamid Karzai International Airport, and for other purposes.
This law authorizes a single Congressional Gold Medal to honor 13 U.S. servicemembers killed in the August 26, 2021 suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. It names Maxton Soviak, Kareem Nikoui, David Espinoza, Rylee McCollum, Jared Schmitz, Hunter Lopez, Taylor Hoover, Daegan William-Tyeler Page, Nicole Gee, Humberto Sanchez, Dylan Merola, Johanny Rosario Pichardo, and Ryan Knauss. The Secretary of the Treasury will strike the gold medal, present it through the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate, and give the medal to the Smithsonian for display with a sense that the Smithsonian make it available for display outside the District of Columbia at times. The Secretary may strike and sell bronze duplicates at prices sufficient to cover costs, the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund may be charged for medal costs, and proceeds from bronze sales shall be deposited into the Fund.
