Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Limits Department of Education power

If enacted, this bill would add a rule saying the Department of Education could not require any additional pregnancy information or create new rights beyond what this subsection lists. The restriction would apply only to the new subsection about pregnant student notices. The provision would limit the agency's future ability to expand required disclosures or protections under that subsection.

College notices on pregnancy rights

If enacted, this bill would require colleges that get federal student aid to tell prospective and enrolled students about pregnancy rights and supports. Institutions would email each enrolled student at least once per academic year. They would also include the information in student handbooks, at orientations, at student health or counseling centers, and on the school website. The materials would list campus and community resources, explain available accommodations for carrying a pregnancy to term and parenting after birth, and show how to file Title IX complaints with the Department of Education and with the college.
