That is why I am cosponsoring the momnibus, a package of 14 bills that aims to address the root causes of maternal health challenges, provide support to mothers, and study how we can build a better system for every American family in need of care. The Black Maternal Health Caucus has fought for this legislation for years. We will not stop until it becomes law. It must become law now.

McClellan says she is cosponsoring the Momnibus and will keep pushing until it becomes law.

Harder's March 27, 2026 House press release says he 'announced landmark legislation to end the growing maternal mortality crisis nationwide' and describes the Momnibus Act as 'made up of 14 different bills' aimed at preventing deaths and improving maternal health outcomes.

Harder publicly renewed the Momnibus push in the current term, but the page reports only introduction and advocacy, not enactment or committee progress.

In House floor remarks on Black maternal health, members said they were 'cosponsoring the momnibus' and described it as a comprehensive package of 14 bills meant to address maternal mortality and disparities, showing the campaign remained in active legislative advocacy during the lookback window.

The official record shows continued advocacy for the Momnibus package in April 2026, but not a completed legislative advance such as passage or committee markup.

The caucus said on May 15, 2026 that more than $9 million, nearly $10 million, and over $40 million in FY25 grant awards were tied to programs and initiatives 'based on the Momnibus Act' or requested by the caucus through the appropriations process.

This is concrete partial delivery through appropriations-backed program funding, though it is not the same as passing the Momnibus Act itself.
