Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
This bill establishes a federal grant program through the Treasury Department to fund travel expenses and support services for people seeking abortion care. Eligible organizations, primarily nonprofit and community-based groups like abortion funds, can receive grants to pay for costs such as transportation, lodging, meals, childcare, translation services, and lost wages for individuals traveling to access abortion services. The bill prioritizes grants to organizations serving people in states with abortion bans or restrictions and those helping people travel across state lines for care. The legislation authorizes $350 million annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to support this program, which responds to the increased travel distances and financial barriers people face following the 2022 Supreme Court decision eliminating the constitutional right to abortion. The bill also includes a federal preemption clause preventing states from blocking the use of these funds and prohibiting federal agencies from cooperating with state investigations or prosecutions related to the program.
