Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Reproductive Health Care Accessibility Act establishes three federally-funded initiatives to improve reproductive health services for people with disabilities. First, the bill creates a $10 million annual grant program (2027-2031) to train healthcare professionals in disability-competent reproductive care through health centers, universities, and disability-led organizations. Second, it authorizes $15 million annually (2027-2031) to support individuals with disabilities in nursing education and help nursing schools develop curricula for serving disabled patients. Third, the bill directs a three-year research study funded at $15 million in fiscal year 2027 to evaluate existing sexual and reproductive health programs for people with disabilities and examine how federal, state, and tribal partnerships can better coordinate these services. Overall, the legislation aims to increase both the availability of trained providers and the quality of reproductive health care accessible to Americans with disabilities.
