What this bill would do

This bill consists of two main titles. Title I reauthorizes the Young Women's Breast Health Education and Awareness Requires Learning Young Act of 2009 through the year 2031. Title II introduces the "SCREENS for Cancer Act of 2025." This second title amends the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program to include prevention and enhanced support activities. It also directs a GAO study to assess program trends and eligibility. Additionally, it provides specific funding for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.

The House: a fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to passPassed 394–6
The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not.
