AI Summary
This bill expands access to abortion and contraception services for specific groups in California. It allows Medi-Cal enrolled providers to receive grants to offer these services at no or reduced cost to veterans who are uninsured or whose health coverage doesn't include abortion and contraception, or who cannot access these services through the Department of Veterans Affairs health system. The bill defines "veteran" for the purposes of these grants and requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to link to the state's abortion information website on its women veterans resources page. Additionally, it makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to existing law regarding the state's abortion services website.
