Summary

This bill would expand and modernize the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) to emphasize prevention, ensure follow-up care, and broaden access. It also creates a parallel SCREENS for Cancer framework and extends a young women's breast health education authorization to 2031.

Show full summary
  • Families and people who need screening would see stronger requirements that appropriate follow-up services are provided and a new focus on prevention and navigation to care.
  • Underserved communities would get targeted efforts to reduce disparities in incidence, morbidity, and mortality and to remove barriers to screening and diagnosis.
  • Program managers and Congress would get updated oversight and data. The bill shifts NBCCEDP reporting to an initial 2‑year report and then every 5 years, directs a GAO report by September 30, 2027 on eligibility and trends, and authorizes $235.5 million annually for FY2026–2030.

*Authorizes $235.5 million per year for NBCCEDP for FY2026–2030, creating a multi‑year federal funding authorization for the program.*

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

More cancer screening help for uninsured

If enacted, uninsured people eligible for the federal breast and cervical program would get stronger help with screening and follow-up. The program would add prevention work, patient navigation, and evidence-based screening and diagnostic services. Grantees and health agencies would be required to ensure appropriate follow-up after abnormal results. Congress would authorize $235.5 million each year for 2026 through 2030 to run the program. This is an authorization, not a guaranteed appropriation.

Young Women's Breast Health program extended

The bill would extend the Young Women’s Breast Health Education and Awareness program’s authorization through 2031. It changes the law’s end date from 2026 to 2031. This keeps the program’s authority in place but does not provide funding by itself.
