This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize and expand support for State-based maternal mortality review committees by including obstetricians and gynecologists in their composition and improving death record collection through coordination with death certifiers. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the CDC and in consultation with HRSA, to disseminate best practices for preventing maternal mortality and morbidity to hospitals, State professional societies, and perinatal quality collaboratives at least once per fiscal year. The bill also increases annual funding for these efforts from $58 million to $100 million for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
