This bill, the Expanding Access to Family Planning Act, aims to provide enhanced funding for family planning services. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It establishes a "Title X Clinic Fund" to be administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to provide expanded and sustained national investment in clinics providing family planning services under Title X of the Public Health Service Act. 2. It appropriates $500 million annually for fiscal years 2023-2032 for grants and contracts under Title X, as well as $50 million annually for infrastructure, including the construction and renovation of Title X clinics. 3. It prohibits Title X funding recipients from prohibiting any entity from participating in their Title X service subaward program for reasons other than the entity's inability to provide such services. 4. It requires that in the case of services provided by a Title X clinic that receives funding under this bill, all pregnancy counseling must be nondirective, and patients with a positive pregnancy test must be given the opportunity to receive neutral, factual information and nondirective counseling on all options, including prenatal care, adoption, and pregnancy termination.
