CRS Summary

As of 2023-12-11 (53)

PREEMIE Reauthorization Act of 2023

This bill reauthorizes through FY2028 and otherwise modifies research and education programs for preventing premature births.

In particular, the bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish an interagency working group to improve the coordination of programs and activities to prevent preterm birth, infant mortality, and related adverse effects. (Current law permits HHS to establish such a working group.)

Additionally, HHS must support a study carried out by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on matters related to premature births, such as the financial costs and factors that affect preterm birth rates.
