East Palestine Health Impact Monitoring Act of 2025
This bill funds a long-term health study on the 2023 train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, which released chemicals through venting and burning. It directs the Health Secretary to award grants to university consortia with community ties to study residents' health impacts over time. The study must report progress within two years and final results within a year of publication, with Congress receiving both updates. Funding is authorized for fiscal year 2026 through 2030 to support this research.
