H.R. 4151 · 117th Congress

FASD Respect Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Advancing FASD Research, Services, and Prevention Act or the FASD Respect Act

This bill expands and establishes programs for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).

Specifically, it directs the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health, the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, and the Health Resources and Services Administration to carry out and coordinate research, surveillance, and related activities to diagnose, prevent, and treat FASD.

Furthermore, the bill establishes various grant programs to

  • support FASD coalitions and develop systems of care;
  • provide services for individuals affected by FASD and other conditions related to prenatal substance exposure;
  • identify and implement best practices for educating children with FASD; and
  • establish centers for excellence to build relevant capacity for preventing, treating, and responding to the needs of individuals with FASD.

The bill also directs the Department of Education and the Department of Justice to develop and disseminate trainings and best practices related to FASD in schools and correctional facilities, respectively.
