This bill, called the Baby Observation Act, tells health officials to study home monitors that track a baby's heart rate and oxygen levels while they sleep.
Researchers will look at how well these devices work and if they can help prevent sudden unexpected infant death, which is a major concern for many new parents.
The study will also help decide if health insurance plans should be required to pay for these monitors to make them easier for families to afford and use.
A final report is due to Congress in one year, which will include advice on the best ways to use these devices to keep babies safe at home.
