AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive Pregnancy Assistance Fund and grant program administered by the Oregon Health Authority to support pregnant and postpartum individuals. The program will provide grants to private nonprofit organizations that help pregnant persons carry pregnancies to term by offering services such as medical care, nutritional support, adoption services, parenting education, housing assistance, and employment support. The bill requires grant recipients to provide information on fetal development and medical care for pregnant persons and newborns. The fund will be initially financed using the average amount previously spent on abortion reimbursements, with future funding adjusted for cost of living increases. The bill significantly restricts state medical assistance program abortion reimbursements, limiting them only to cases where the abortion is necessary to prevent major bodily function impairment or in instances of rape or incest. Notably, the bill will be referred to Oregon voters for direct approval or rejection at the next regular general election, giving citizens the opportunity to decide its fate through a ballot measure.
