A bill to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a national, evidence-based education campaign to increase public and health care provider awareness regarding the potential risks and benefits of human cell and tissue products transplants, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to have the Secretary of Health and Human Services launch a national education campaign aimed at increasing awareness among the public and healthcare providers about the potential risks and benefits of human cell and tissue products transplants. The goal is to provide evidence-based information to help people make informed decisions about these transplants. This would affect both the general public and healthcare providers by enhancing their understanding of transplant options.
The bill was introduced on June 24, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for further review. As of now, it is in its initial stages, with no further actions taken yet. The sponsors of the bill are Gary Peters (Democrat) and Roger Marshall (Republican), indicating bipartisan support.
Recent history shows that the bill was read twice and referred to the committee on the same day it was introduced. The next steps will involve committee review and potential amendments before any further legislative action.
