Momnibus Act

This bill sets up a federal task force led by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to coordinate efforts to reduce deaths and serious health problems related to pregnancy and childbirth. It authorizes grants to community groups, hospitals, schools, and maternal mortality review committees for programs on housing, nutrition, transportation, training on bias in maternity care, and growing the maternity care workforce. It extends WIC nutrition program eligibility for postpartum individuals from six months to 24 months, and for breastfeeding individuals from one year to 24 months. It also funds Veterans Affairs maternity care coordination programs and requires several federal reports and studies on maternal health.
