Gambling Disorder Health Study Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to run a research program on gambling disorder, either directly or through agreements with public or nonprofit groups. The research would cover the disorder's origins, long-term effects, the role of mobile and online gambling, links to video games and social media, treatments, demographics, and how other developed countries regulate gambling. The Secretary would consult with agencies including the National Institutes of Health and report to Congress within 2 years and every year after. The bill would authorize funding for fiscal years 2027 through 2029 equal to 10 percent of the prior year's federal wagering excise tax receipts.
