To require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish an exposure registry and conduct epidemiological studies to assess health outcomes associated with the Red Hill Incident.
HR 4061 requires the Health and Human Services Secretary to create a voluntary health registry for people affected by the 2021 Red Hill fuel spill at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which contaminated the community water system. It mandates a 20-year epidemiological study to assess health impacts from the contaminated water, including annual reporting on enrollment, health data collection, and interim findings. The bill directs coordination with Defense, Veterans Affairs, and community experts to identify affected individuals, refer them to services, and protect privacy during data collection. All findings and reports must be publicly shared annually and upon study completion, with funding provided by the Department of Defense for fiscal years 2024-2030.
