Summary
This bill would create a Treasury-administered competitive grant program to _fund travel and logistical support for people seeking abortion services_.

Show full summary
- Families and patients: Helps cover round-trip travel, lodging, meals, childcare, translation services, doula care, patient education, and lost wages so people can reach abortion care across jurisdictional lines.
- Nonprofit service providers: Limits eligible recipients to nonprofit or community groups described under 501(c)(3) that provide unbiased, medically accurate assistance and allows up to 15 percent of grants for organizational costs like outreach and staff training.
- States and enforcement: Preempts state, tribal, territorial, or local laws that conflict with use of these funds and bars federal cooperation in antiabortion proceedings tied to the program.
*Authorizes $350 million per fiscal year for 2026 through 2030 to carry out the program.*

Help with travel for abortion care
If enacted, nonprofits could get federal grants to cover your travel and logistics for abortion care. Money could pay for round-trip travel, lodging, meals, childcare, translation, doula support, patient information, and lost wages. It could not pay for the procedure; up to 15% could fund outreach, websites, and staff. Only unbiased, medically accurate nonprofits would qualify; groups that discourage abortion would not. Treasury would open applications within 30 days, with priority for groups in states with bans, helping travelers, or with existing or planned programs. The bill would override state or local limits on using these funds and bar federal help in related antiabortion cases. It would authorize $350 million each year for 2026–2030.
