Urges Congress to pass federal "Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act."

This New Jersey Senate resolution (SR 50) urges Congress to pass the federal "Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act," a legislative package of 13 bills. The resolution highlights that Black women in the U.S. are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women, with maternal mortality rates remaining highest among Black mothers. The Momnibus Act would allocate over $1 billion to address racial disparities by funding support for basic needs (like housing and transportation), expanding mental health and substance use services, improving data collection, and increasing access to care through telehealth. The resolution does not create new law but calls for federal action to reduce preventable maternal deaths.
