Data to Save Moms Act

This bill would let the federal health department give grants to state and Tribal maternal mortality review committees to add community members, do community outreach, and publish reports, with $10 million a year authorized for 2027 through 2031. It would direct these committees, where practicable, to also review cases of severe maternal illness and deaths from suicide, overdose, or mental health conditions during pregnancy or up to a year after. The bill requires the department to review maternal health data collection and quality measures and report recommendations to Congress within one year. It also funds a study of maternal health among American Indian and Alaska Native people and creates a grant program for minority-serving institutions to research maternal health among racial and ethnic minority groups.
