117-s-4120, Childhood Cancer STAR Reauthorization Act
Broaden childhood cancer survivorship research and biospecimen access. This law expands what clinical biobanks can store, turns pilot survivorship efforts into funded research, and requires steps to strengthen the pediatric psychosocial care workforce. - Families and survivors: Research and care will focus more on long-term needs for children and adolescents. The law requires tools for secure electronic transfer of treatment records and survivorship care summaries between health care providers or, when appropriate, longitudinal cohorts. - Researchers and biorepositories: Biobanks may now collect solid tumor samples and paired samples. The National Institutes of Health must review researcher access procedures and report findings to congressional health committees within 2 years, and program funding references are updated to 2024–2028. - Health care providers and workforce: The law replaces pilot-program language with active research funding and requires recommendations to boost workforce development for clinicians who deliver psychosocial care to pediatric cancer patients and survivors.

Strengthens federal support for Native American languages by requiring agency evaluations and creating a regular, comprehensive Survey on Native American Languages to guide revitalization efforts. - Gives tribes and language communities a national survey to document which languages are spoken, estimate numbers of speakers, record language use, and inventory ongoing revitalization projects. Participation is voluntary and sensitive information is protected. - Requires the President to have federal departments complete evaluations within 1 year and directs the Secretaries of the Interior, Health and Human Services, and Education to report recommendations to Congress to align laws, improve interagency coordination, and reduce duplication that blocks language work. - Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Administration for Native Americans, to run the survey every 5 years with tribal consultation, coordination with the Census if useful, and outreach via grants or contracts. It authorizes $1.5 million per fiscal year to support survey-related activities. Authorizes $1.5 million per fiscal year for survey-related activities during survey years, adding that level of federal spending in those years.
