Reps. Tim Moore and Suzan DelBene Introduce the Bipartisan Mobile Mammography Promotion Act to Increase Access to Breast Cancer Screening

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Tim Moore (NC-14) and Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) introduced H.R. 2875, the Mobile Mammography Promotion Act, to exempt mobile mammography vehicles from motor fuel excise taxes.

“We know women have a better shot at beating breast cancer when it’s caught early, but too many in rural and underserved areas can’t easily access the screenings they need,” said Congressman Moore. “The Mobile Mammography Promotion Act gives mobile clinics the same exemption already available to blood collection vehicles, helping them stretch their resources further. Instead of paying fuel taxes, that money can go straight into life-saving care.”

“Preventive health care, like mammograms, is critical to catching diseases and conditions early. But many people struggle to access this care because it isn’t available nearby. Mobile programs like mammogram vans can meet people where they are. This bill will help make mobile mammograms more accessible. These are life-saving tests,” said Congresswoman DelBene. 

Mobile mammography units serve a vital role by delivering diagnostic care directly to women at workplaces, community centers, and rural clinics—often reaching patients who would otherwise forgo screening due to distance, lack of transportation, or other barriers. Under current law, these vehicles are subject to the same federal fuel excise taxes as commercial trucks despite their public health mission. 

The Mobile Mammography Promotion Act aligns the tax treatment of mobile mammography units with blood collection vehicles, which already receive a similar exemption. This commonsense fix will help providers maximize resources, increase outreach, and ultimately save lives through earlier detection and treatment.

The original cosponsors are Reps. Young Kim (CA-40), Jim Costa (CA-21), Ashley Hinson (IA-02), Don Bacon (NE-02), and Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06).
