Plain-English Summary

This bill would continue federal funding and support for newborn screening programs that test babies shortly after birth for serious genetic, metabolic, and other health conditions that can be treated early to prevent disability or death. The legislation helps states maintain and improve these screening tests, which catch treatable diseases like sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis before symptoms appear, benefiting newborns and their families across the country.
