HR 2319 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2025
Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, working with the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments, to review the current status of lung cancer research, screening, and awareness efforts—particularly as they affect women and underserved populations. The review must identify gaps in research, opportunities for improved collaboration across federal agencies, and strategies to expand access to lung cancer screening and prevention services. The HHS Secretary is also directed to develop recommendations for a national lung cancer screening strategy and public education campaign focused on early detection. The Secretary must submit a comprehensive report to Congress within two years of the bill's enactment detailing findings and recommendations.
