In August 2010, the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act was introduced to the 111th Congress. This bipartisan bill amends the Stem Cell Therapeutic Research reauthorization Act of 2005 and reauthorizes it through 2015. This bill was sponsored by Senator Orrin Hatch (R) of Utah and sponsored by twelve other individuals both Republican and Democrats (Library of Congress, Bill Summary, 2011).
One of the main points to the bill was to continue Federal funding to cord blood banks for the next five years while they continue their goal to achieve self-sufficiency. The bill was referred to the HELP committee September 23, 2010, passed by the Senate September 28, 2010, passed by the House on September 30, 2010 and signed by the President on October 8, 2010 to become public law 111-264 (Library of Congress, Bill Summary, 2011).
