Bill > HR3985

This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require colleges and universities that receive federal funding to develop and publicly share comprehensive policies and information specifically supporting expectant and parenting students. The bill mandates that institutions provide detailed resources and information on a wide range of topics, including pregnancy-related accommodations, lactation spaces, financial aid options for student parents, available support services (such as child care, housing assistance, and academic advising), on-campus housing for students with dependents, and information about legal rights and protections. Institutions must make these policies and resources easily accessible, including on their websites, and present the information in a balanced manner that does not favor one resource over another. The bill aims to help student parents navigate their educational journey by ensuring they have clear, comprehensive information about the support and accommodations available to them, addressing potential barriers to their academic success related to pregnancy and parenting responsibilities.
