TRANS MICE Act

# TRANS MICE Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The TRANS MICE Act would restrict federal funding for research involving mice that have been genetically modified to have human sex characteristics or reproductive tissues. If passed, it would prohibit the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies from funding such studies, even if they're conducted to better understand human biology or develop medical treatments. **Who It Affects:** This bill would primarily impact biomedical researchers at universities and research institutions who study sex-specific diseases and conditions.

It could affect scientific work related to reproductive health, cancer research, hormone-related disorders, and other medical conditions where these specialized animal models are currently used as research tools. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been referred to the appropriate House committee for review but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. It remains in the early stages of the legislative process. --- *Note: For the most current information on this bill's status, sponsors' stated intentions, and committee activities, consult Congress.gov or official congressional resources.*.
