GovInfo lists H.R. 9000 as introduced by Rep. Kim Schrier on May 21, 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The full title is to amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for a public awareness campaign with respect to screening for type 1 diabetes.

The introduced bill text would require the HHS Secretary, acting through the CDC Director, to run a national type 1 diabetes awareness campaign and carry it out through grants or cooperative agreements with private nonprofit entities experienced in similar campaigns.
Assessments
Schrier materially attempted to fulfill the promise by introducing H.R. 9000 in May 2026, which would direct HHS/CDC to run a type 1 diabetes awareness campaign through grants or cooperative agreements with nonprofit entities. Current legislative status remains introduction and referral to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, with no enactment or implemented CDC grant program identified. This is a serious legislative effort but not a delivered outcome.
