Kylie’s Voices for Childhood Cancer Act

This bill would require states that receive federal funding for their comprehensive cancer control plans to include at least two pediatric cancer experts in their state cancer control coalitions. It would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a Pediatric Cancer Advisory Committee made up of federal and state program representatives and two people with pediatric cancer experience, such as survivors, caregivers, or experts. The committee would develop recommendations and best practices on addressing childhood and young adult cancer, meet once a year with state coalition representatives, and end two years after its first meeting, when a report would go to Congress. The bill would also allow Maternal and Child Health block grant funds to be used for pediatric cancer goals within cancer control programs and to carry out the committee's recommendations.
