AI Summary

This bill, the Pregnant Students' Rights Act, aims to require public institutions of higher education to disseminate information on the rights, accommodations, and resources available for pregnant students, excluding abortion services. The bill requires these institutions to carry out information dissemination activities, establish a protocol to meet with pregnant students who believe their Title IX rights have been violated, and submit an annual report to Congress on student responses and actions taken to address Title IX complaints related to pregnancy. The goal is to address the academic disparity and lack of resources for female college students who do not wish to receive an abortion or want to carry their unborn babies to term.
