Bill extends cancer screening programs for women through 2030.

What it does

This bill continues two federal programs. They give free or low-cost breast and cervical cancer screening to women. It extends funding through 2030. The bill adds new goals to reduce health gaps and improve access. A government study is required by 2027. The study will show how many women the programs reach and what stops women from getting screened.

Who it affects

Underserved women who need cancer screening benefit from continued access. State health departments and cancer screening programs receive extended funding.

One thing to notice

States and providers must collect and report screening data. This may create extra work for smaller clinics.
