House Passes EARLY Reauthorization Act

On December 9, the House passed, by voice vote, the Early Awareness Requires Learning Young (EARLY) Reauthorization Act (H.R. 5185).

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), would reauthorize the EARLY Act through FY2019. That bill, originally passed as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148), educates the public and health care professionals about young women’s breast health and supports research into breast cancer prevention in young women.
