## 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.** - 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.*

- Young Women's Breast Health program extended: benefit, low. The bill would extend the Young Women’s Breast Health Education and Awareness program’s authorization through 2031.
