Plain Language Summary

# Anti-Racism in Public Health Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Anti-Racism in Public Health Act of 2025 is a proposed law that would address racial disparities in public health. While specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, bills with this title typically aim to require federal health agencies to examine and reduce racial inequities in health outcomes, access to care, and health services.

This could involve creating new initiatives, funding programs, or establishing requirements for agencies like the CDC or HHS to track and report on health disparities. **Who It Affects** This legislation would primarily affect federal health agencies, healthcare providers receiving federal funding, and communities experiencing health disparities—particularly Black, Hispanic, Native American, and other minority populations who statistically experience worse health outcomes in areas like maternal mortality, chronic disease, and life expectancy. **Current Status** The bill (HR 2884) was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full floor vote in the House. The bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process. *Note: More detailed information about specific provisions would require access to the full bill text.*.
