Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act
Sponsored By: Representative Fischbach, Michelle [R-MN-7]
Passed House
Summary
Clarifies that federal section 403 grants may be used to support pregnancy centers and defines what those centers may do. The bill lists allowed services and activities so states and providers know when existing Title IV-A funds can pay for pregnancy-related supports.
Show full summary
- 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.*

States could fund pregnancy centers
This bill would let states use existing federal family-assistance grants to support pregnancy centers. A qualifying center would support protecting the life of the mother and the unborn child and would offer help to mothers, fathers, and families. Services would include things like relationship counseling, prenatal and pregnancy education, pregnancy testing, diapers, and baby clothes. The bill would not add new funding or require states to participate, so help would depend on whether your state directs money to these centers.
