Pregnant Students’ Rights Act
Sponsored By: Representative Hinson, Ashley [R-IA-2]
Passed House
Summary
Requires colleges that participate in Title IV to give pregnant students clear information about their rights, accommodations, and available resources. The Pregnant Students' Rights Act adds a new subsection to the Higher Education Act so prospective and enrolled students know how to carry a pregnancy to term and where to find support.
Show full summary
- Prospective and enrolled students, including those attending less than full time, receive a list of campus and community resources to help carry a pregnancy to term and care for the baby after birth. The materials must also explain available accommodations and how to file a complaint with the Department of Education under Title IX or with the institution.
- Institutions that participate in Title IV programs must send an email to each enrolled student at least once each academic year. They must also include the information in student handbooks, at student orientations, at student health or counseling centers, and on their publicly available website.

Colleges would share help for pregnant students
If enacted, colleges that get federal aid would share clear information for pregnant students who choose to carry to term. Schools would email each enrolled student once a year, and post it on their public website. They would also include it in handbooks, at each student orientation, and at health or counseling centers, if any. The materials would list campus and local resources, explain available pregnancy and parenting accommodations, and explain how to file Title IX complaints with the school and the Department of Education. Prospective and part-time students would be covered too. The bill would not let the Education Department require extra items beyond this list.
