AI Summary

This Study Bill establishes the "More Options for Maternal Support Program" to be administered by the department of human services, which will fund nonprofit organizations providing nonmedical pregnancy support services aimed at promoting childbirth, improving pregnancy outcomes, child development, and family economic self-sufficiency through services like nutritional education, housing assistance, adoption support, parenting education, and material aid, and also expands Medicaid postpartum coverage for pregnant women to six months by requiring the department to seek federal approval for this change, with appropriations allocated for both the new program and the extended Medicaid coverage.
