What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "SCREEN for Type 1 Diabetes Act of 2026," aims to amend the Public Health Service Act. It directs the Secretary, through the CDC, to lead a national, evidence-based awareness campaign regarding type 1 diabetes detection, screening, and management. The campaign includes creating written materials and public service announcements across various media platforms. It also requires the development of culturally and linguistically competent resources for specific communities. To achieve this, the Secretary will consult with various medical and community organizations and provide grants to private nonprofit entities and public health departments.
