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 grant program for states, tribes, nonprofits, health providers, colleges, and others to develop new approaches to improve the health of mothers and children who are victims of these harms. It authorizes $15 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2029 for the grants and requires reports to Congress on best practices every 3 years. It also requires the department to publish guidance within 2 years on screening for intimate partner violence and building partnerships between health care providers and community groups.
