Bill Summary
A BILL To provide enhanced funding for family planning services.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Expanding Access to Family Planning Act, aims to provide enhanced funding for family planning services. Specifically, it establishes a "Title X Clinic Fund" to be administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, which will receive $500 million annually for fiscal years 2023 through 2032 to support grants and contracts for family planning services provided under Title X of the Public Health Service Act. Additionally, the bill allocates $50 million per year to fund the construction, renovation, and equipment of these Title X clinics. The bill also prohibits Title X funding recipients from excluding entities from participating in their programs for reasons other than the entity's inability to provide Title X services, and requires that all pregnancy counseling provided by Title X clinics be nondirective, with patients given the opportunity to receive neutral, factual information and counseling on all pregnancy options, including prenatal care, adoption, and pregnancy termination.
