What changed in the latest version

Plain-language change summary

The revised version of S. 1157 removes the specific short title and detailed provisions outlining an interagency review by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This change simplifies the bill by eliminating extensive language related to research and preventive services for lung cancer in women and underserved populations. As a result, the focus may shift toward broader legislative priorities without the specified directives initially present in the earlier version.
