AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend a 2004 law that created the Pregnant and Parenting Student Services Fund and required certain higher education institutions to establish and operate a Pregnant and Parenting Student Services Office. The key change is the elimination of a provision that allowed these offices to provide referrals on abortion services, while retaining the other requirements for the offices, such as assessing student needs, identifying service providers, and assisting students in obtaining necessary services related to comprehensive healthcare, family housing, childcare, academic scheduling, and parenting education. The bill also includes an enacting section stating that it will not take effect unless a related bill, House Bill 4949, is also enacted into law.
