An Act relating to medical assistance eligibility for family planning services; and providing for an effective date.

SB 168 modifies Alaska's medical assistance program to expand eligibility for family planning services and supplies. It allows the Department of Health to provide these services to individuals of child-bearing age who are not pregnant and have household income at or below 225% of the federal poverty line. The bill requires the state to amend its medical assistance plan for federal approval, and the changes would take effect only if approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by January 1, 2026. This policy directly affects low-income Alaskans seeking non-pregnancy-related reproductive healthcare services.
