Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill renews the national program that helps patients find and receive life‑saving blood and marrow transplants. It continues federal support for the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program and keeps building and maintaining the public cord blood supply, which helps patients who need a match for treatment of cancers, blood disorders, and other serious illnesses.
It also sets new funding levels for the program, including $31,009,000 in one year and $33,009,000 each year from 2027 through 2031. It updates rules for the national cord blood inventory to keep it strong and ready for patients in need.
