What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Surge to Save Newborns Act. It amends the Public Health Service Act to create a special grant program for States. The goal is to help States implement timely newborn screening for conditions on a recommended uniform screening panel. The Secretary of Health is required to submit annual reports to Congress evaluating these grants from fiscal year 2027 through 2031. Finally, the bill appropriates $35,000,000 for each of those fiscal years to fund these State grants.
