Very likely to pass

This is a popular, bipartisan program that has been renewed many times before without much pushback.

Key Points

This bill allows the Post Office to keep selling a special stamp that raises money for breast cancer research. People who buy this stamp pay a little more than the regular price for postage, and that extra money goes directly to medical research.
The current program is scheduled to end in 2027. This law would keep the stamp available for ten more years, until 2037. This ensures that scientists have a steady stream of extra funding to help find a cure.
This effort is led by Rosen and a group of senators from both political parties. Since the program is already running and helps a cause many people care about, it is expected to move through Congress quickly.
