Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act

• Families: Pregnant and parenting people could see broader access to local supports through centers offering prenatal education, pregnancy testing, relationship counseling, diapers, baby clothes, and other material help.
• States: States would have explicit authority to use existing section 403 grants to fund pregnancy centers, reducing legal uncertainty about allowable uses of those grants.
• Pregnancy centers and related organizations: Organizations described as pregnancy resource centers, pregnancy help centers, or pregnancy medical centers would be clearly eligible to receive grant support when they offer the enumerated services and state funding chooses to include them.

*This bill does not create new mandatory funding and instead clarifies permissible uses of existing section 403 grants.*
