## Summary

**Would reauthorize and expand the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) to emphasize prevention, equitable access, and stronger follow-up.** The bill builds on a program that has served over 6.4 million people and delivered more than 16.5 million screening exams and would shift the program toward prevention, clearer follow-up requirements, and targeted outreach to isolated populations. - Low-income people and families: Would broaden services to include prevention and require appropriate follow-up, navigation, and support to help low-income, uninsured, or underinsured individuals complete screening and diagnostic care. - Health programs and underserved communities: Would push grantees to use evidence-based strategies in health care settings, facilitate access to screening, and prioritize outreach to geographically or culturally isolated communities and Tribal organizations. - Funding and oversight: Would add a new appropriation line of $235 million for FY2026–2030 and require a Government Accountability Office study by September 30, 2027, on eligibility, service trends, and access barriers. *Would authorize $235 million in appropriations for FY2026–2030, increasing federal outlays by that amount over the period.*
