AI Summary

This bill establishes an abortion savings program by creating a new annual coverage assessment on health carriers, which are defined as entities offering health plans on the health benefit exchange, excluding dental or vision-only plans. This assessment, initially $0.82 per coverage month and then $0.165 annually, will be deposited into an "abortion savings account" and used to provide grants to eligible organizations, such as abortion providers, abortion funds, Indian health care providers, or independent practitioners in medically underserved areas, to maintain access to direct patient abortion clinical care services for individuals without sufficient resources, meaning those who are uninsured, underinsured, or unable to use their insurance due to privacy concerns. The bill also includes provisions for penalties and interest on late payments of the assessment, and it amends existing laws related to treasury income distribution to include the new abortion savings account, with specific sections having staggered effective and expiration dates.
