H.R. 10405 — Kylie’s Voices for Childhood Cancer Act

This section requires states receiving federal funding for the development and implementation of comprehensive cancer control plans to ensure that each state coalition includes at least two pediatric cancer experts.

This section establishes the Cancer Control Plan Pediatric Cancer Advisory Committee within the Department of Health and Human Services. The committee consists of representatives from the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, CDC’s National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, state programs funded under title V of the Social Security Act and by the Health Resources and Services Administration, and two individuals from nonprofit pediatric cancer organizations, experts, survivors, or caregivers. It develops resources, best practices, and recommendations for addressing pediatric cancer in state comprehensive cancer control plans, advises on the use of federal funds for pediatric cancer patients, and creates best practices for adolescent and young adult cancer. The committee meets annually with state cancer control coalitions and sunsets two years after its first meeting, at which point the Secretary transmits a report to Congress.

This section expands the allowable uses of Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant funds to include meeting pediatric-specific initiatives and goals within Comprehensive Cancer Control programs of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and implementing recommendations of the Cancer Control Plan Pediatric Cancer Advisory Committee established under section 3 of the Kylie’s Voices for Childhood Cancer Act.
