To amend the Public Health Service Act to improve maternal health data collection processes and quality measures, and for other purposes.

H.R. 8080 proposes amendments to the Public Health Service Act focused on strengthening maternal health data collection and quality measurement processes. The bill, introduced by Representative Sharice Davids (D-KS) in March 2026, is currently under committee consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full House.

If enacted, this legislation would enhance the federal government's ability to track and evaluate maternal health outcomes and healthcare quality. Better data collection and quality measures could help identify gaps in maternal healthcare services, support evidence-based improvements in care delivery, and ultimately contribute to better health outcomes for pregnant individuals and new mothers. The practical impact would depend on how the data collection and quality measures are implemented and what actions federal agencies take based on the information gathered.
