Executive Summary
Revised version of the pediatric education and research bill (HR 4365), co-sponsored by Reps. Michael Bilirakis (R-Fla.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), pulled due to disagreements about provisions on adoption and fetal surgery. The legislation, which was introduced to replace HR 3301, retains sections in support of folic acid supplementation, education and research, and a nationwide poison control hotline. The bill's status is now unclear; referred to the House Commerce Committee, HR 4365 was expected to bypass committee hearings and go directly to the House floor
