The Healthy Start Initiative is a federal program that supports maternal and child health through nutrition and health education. This act amends the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize the initiative for fiscal years 2026‑2030, replacing the generic term “appropriated” with a specific appropriation clause. The amendment provides a budget of $145,000,000 each year for the program’s operations and outreach. By establishing a clear funding schedule, the bill ensures continued support for families and communities that rely on the initiative’s services.
