Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Grants to support reproductive providers
If enacted, the bill would provide two grant programs totaling $80 million. It would give $40 million to the Attorney General for legal-defense grants to licensed law groups to advise and represent providers. It would give $40 million to the Department of Health and Human Services for security grants for facility, staff, and cyber protections. The bill would also define who counts as a covered health care provider and what "reproductive health care services" are eligible for these grants.
Protecting providers who offer reproductive care
If enacted, the bill would bar anyone, including States, from blocking or punishing a provider or helper who gives reproductive health care that is legal where provided. It would stop States from using federal funds to pursue legal, licensing, or disciplinary actions against those providers. The Attorney General could bring civil suits, and people harmed could sue too; courts could order relief and award attorney’s fees. States and officials could not claim Tenth or Eleventh Amendment immunity for enforcement that violates this rule.
Protections for provider liability insurance
If enacted, the bill would stop professional liability insurers from denying coverage to a provider solely because the provider gives lawful reproductive health care. It would also stop insurers from suing a provider only for giving lawful reproductive care. The protection applies only when the insurer acts solely for that reason.
