The Reporting Accountability and Abuse Prevention Act of 2026 requires health clinics and organizations that receive federal funding under Title X of the Public Health Service Act—which provides grants for family planning and reproductive health services—to comply with all state and local laws requiring the reporting of child abuse, sexual abuse, human trafficking, and related crimes. Grant recipients must develop written compliance plans, train all staff annually on reporting obligations, screen minor patients for signs of abuse, and maintain detailed records documenting their compliance efforts and any reports made to authorities. The bill also grants federal inspectors the right to review these records to verify compliance. Organizations that fail to comply face escalating penalties: first violations result in corrective action plans, while repeat violations trigger repayment of all federal grants received since the law's enactment and a minimum 36-month ban from receiving future Title X funding.
