Protect Moms From Domestic Violence Act

This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to arrange for the National Academy of Medicine, or another entity, to study how domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, trauma, and related harms affect the risk of serious health problems and death during and after pregnancy. It creates a federal grant program for states, tribes, nonprofits, health providers, colleges, and others to develop approaches, including education campaigns, to improve health outcomes for mothers and children who are victims. It authorizes $15 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2029 for the grants and requires reports to Congress every 3 years on best practices. It also requires the Secretary to publish guidance within 2 years on screening for intimate partner violence and on partnerships between health providers and community groups.
