Introduced April 10, 2025 by Ayanna Pressley · Last progress April 10, 2025
Creates a new national public‑health effort to study and address racism and adds a CDC program to research and prevent harms from law enforcement uses of force. It directs the Department of Health and Human Services/CDC to stand up a National Center on Antiracism and Health to study how racism affects health, develop and share interventions and data, partner with Tribal and regional centers, and report at least every two years. It also requires a law enforcement violence prevention program within CDC to research public‑health impacts of police force, improve data collection and interagency coordination, fund research grants, develop interventions, and report annually. The bill authorizes Congress to appropriate whatever funds are needed but does not set specific dollar amounts.
