## Summary

**Require states to report abortion data to the CDC as a condition of Medicaid family planning payments.** This bill would create a CDC-managed abortion surveillance system with a standard worksheet of required variables and built-in cross-tabulation for analysis. - States would have to submit standardized abortion data and certify its accuracy. Reporting would begin after a two-year delay and follow annual December 31 deadlines for submission windows. - People who rely on Medicaid-funded family planning services could see federal payments tied to their state's compliance. A state that knowingly provides false data could lose federal family planning payments for one full fiscal year. - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would collect aggregate data on variables like maternal age, gestational age, race and ethnicity, abortion method, marital status, prior pregnancies, county and State of residence, and whether the child survived. The CDC would publish annual reports and provide technical assistance to states.
