A breast health program for young women would run five more years — through 2031.

Your Money

Breast health program for young women — extended through 2031

The 2009 EARLY Act pays for breast health education and awareness aimed at young women. Right now that spending is allowed only through 2026, and this bill would allow it through 2031.

Transparency & Accountability

Program's end date kept, not removed — now 2031

The program would not become permanent. The spending permission would run out again in 2031 unless Congress votes to renew it.

More about this bill

A federal program that teaches young women about breast health would keep running for five more years. Today, the law lets Congress fund it only through 2026. This bill would replace that window with the years 2027 through 2031. Most people would notice no change in daily life. Young women would keep seeing the same outreach and health information. The text sets no dollar amount, so future funding levels stay up to Congress. The program would still need another renewal after 2031.
