Limit PHE duration; reinstate SUNSET rule; replace reproductive access task force with pro-life task force
Mandate wants Congress to time-limit PHEs, reinstate HHS SUNSET automatic expiration of unreviewed rules, eliminate Reproductive Healthcare Access Task Force for a pro-life task force, and restore “conception to natural death” mission language.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 14 (HHS) — Office of the Secretary: restrict indefinite PHEs with set timeframes; reinstate/codify HHS SUNSET rule; eliminate Reproductive Healthcare Access Task Force and install pro-life task force; restore mission “from conception to natural death”; create Special Representative for Domestic Women’s Health.
Undo plan
1) Preserve flexible PHE tools with congressional reporting, not crippling automatic sunsets during outbreaks.
2) Rescind SUNSET-style mass deregulation that expires health rules without evidence review.
3) Restore reproductive healthcare access coordination across HHS.
4) Keep mission language focused on health equity and evidence-based care for all people.
5) Verify: Federal Register inventory of sunsetting rules prevented; PHE renewal transparency.
