Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill reauthorizes the Congenital Heart Futures Act for five more years (2025-2029), extending federal funding and programs for congenital heart disease research and surveillance. It adds new requirements for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to convene a stakeholder workshop on adult patients with congenital heart disease and to report to Congress on research gaps and workforce shortages.
Who Benefits and How
Adult patients with congenital heart disease benefit from increased research focus on their lifelong healthcare needs, mental health, and quality of life. Healthcare providers specializing in adult congenital heart disease may benefit from strategies to expand fellowship training programs. Patient advocacy organizations gain a formal seat at the table through mandated stakeholder workshops. Research institutions benefit from continued federal support for congenital heart disease studies.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Department of Health and Human Services faces new administrative requirements to organize workshops and produce reports within specified timeframes. Federal agencies including CDC, NIH, and HRSA must participate in coordination efforts. There are no significant new burdens on private industry or individual taxpayers beyond existing program authorizations.
