Bill > HR3287

This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a website called Pregnancy.gov within one year of the bill's enactment, designed to provide comprehensive resources for pregnant women. The website will feature a clearinghouse of resources that can be searched by ZIP code, allowing users to find local and online services within various distance ranges. Users can generate a personalized list of relevant resources across categories such as health services, financial assistance, mental health support, legal aid, and childcare. The bill mandates that the website include a feedback mechanism and an optional user assessment with consent for follow-up communication. States will be invited to recommend resources based on specific criteria, including a requirement that recommended organizations have been providing services for at least three consecutive years. Importantly, the bill prohibits listing or funding any "prohibited entities," which are defined as organizations that perform, refer for, or counsel in favor of abortions. The website must be available in multiple languages and will be funded through existing HHS appropriations. The Secretary is required to submit a report to Congress within 180 days of the website's establishment, detailing user traffic, feedback, and resource gaps, while ensuring no personal identifying information is disclosed. The bill aims to provide comprehensive, localized support for pregnant women and new mothers.
