A BILL

To amend title V of the Social Security Act to extend funding for family-to-family health information centers, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Supporting Family-to-Family Health Information Centers Act”.

SEC. 2. Findings.

Congress finds that family-to-family health information centers—

(1) assist families of children with disabilities or special health care needs to improve the well-being of children;

(2) provide information to families regarding resources available to help children with disabilities or special health care needs;

(3) work with representatives of health care organizations to facilitate collaboration between families of such children and professionals and organizations in the health care system;

(4) since fiscal year 2007, the first year the Secretary of Health and Human Services began to develop and support such centers, they have spread to the extent that family-to-family information centers now operate in all 50 States; and

(5) since fiscal year 2018, these centers have been, and continue to be, developed in the territories and for Indian tribes.

SEC. 3. Extension for family-to-family health information centers.

Section 501(c) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 701(c)) is amended—

(1) in paragraph (1)(A)(vii), by striking “and 2019” and inserting “through 2024”; and

(2) in paragraph (3)(C), by striking “fiscal years 2018 and 2019” and inserting “fiscal year 2018 and each fiscal year thereafter”.
