The 119th Congress Maternal Health Pandemic Response Act is listed as introduced; related H.R. 8807's last action is referral to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on 2026-05-14, and S.4550 was referred to Senate HELP on 2026-05-18.
Assessments
McBath materially advanced the promised policy by helping lead the 2026 reintroduction of the Maternal Health Pandemic Response Act, which includes the proposed task force on birthing experiences and safe, respectful maternity care during public health emergencies. However, the bill remains introduced/referred to committee, with no evidence that it has been enacted or that the task force has been established by federal action. Because she is still in federal office and the measure is pending in the same term, the promise is not yet delivered but remains unresolved.
