Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

More FASD centers and services

If enacted, the government would award grants to set up Centers for FASD and related programs. States, Tribes, local governments, universities, and nonprofits could apply. Grants could pay for screening, diagnosis, training, public awareness, evidence-based care, technical help, and a national service directory. Funding is authorized "as may be necessary" for fiscal years 2025 through 2029. HHS would have to report to Congress within four years after enactment.

Remove older FASD program authorities

If enacted, the bill would strike subsections (c) and (d) of section 399H and repeal section 519D of the Public Health Service Act. The text does not say what replaces those authorities or how agencies should act. Programs or services that depended on those rules could change or end. The ultimate effect would depend on agency decisions and future funding.
