                                  Act of 2018

                     As passed by the Senate on March 22, 2018


SUMMARY

S. 292 would amend the Public Health Service Act to authorize the Director of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support the collection of donated biospecimens
from children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer. The bill would allow the
Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish pilot programs that develop
or evaluate systems for monitoring and caring for childhood cancer survivors. S. 292 also
would direct the Secretary of HHS, through the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), to award grants to states to update and improve childhood cancer
registries.

S. 292 would authorize the appropriation of $30 million a year for fiscal years 2019
through 2023. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $128 million over the
2019-2023 period, assuming the appropriation of the specified amounts.

Enacting S. 292 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 292 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

S. 292 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
