HR 9996: No Surprise Bills for New Moms Act

The No Surprise Bills for New Moms Act updates federal health laws to ensure newborns receive immediate coverage for medical services within 30 days of birth. This legislation directly affects parents enrolled in group health plans, individual insurance policies, or employer-sponsored plans by mandating that these providers cover their newborns without requiring prior enrollment. The bill also requires insurers to offer a special enrollment period lasting at least 60 days after the initial coverage window and to notify parents immediately if a newborn is not enrolled when medical claims are submitted. By amending the Public Health Service Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and the Internal Revenue Code, the law standardizes these protections across different types of health insurance coverage.

HR 9817: Justice for Incarcerated Moms Act

The Justice for Incarcerated Moms Act aims to improve maternal health outcomes for pregnant and postpartum individuals in the criminal justice system by restricting financial incentives for states that use restraints on pregnant inmates. Under the bill, states receiving federal justice grants would face a 25 percent funding penalty if they fail to implement laws limiting the use of shackles on pregnant individuals, with those withheld funds redirected to compliant states. The legislation also directs the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice to create and fund programs in at least six federal facilities and across various state and local prisons that provide specialized prenatal care, mental health support, and reentry assistance. These programs are designed to address specific health disparities, particularly for racial and ethnic minority groups, by offering culturally competent care, nutrition counseling, and opportunities to maintain contact with newborn children. Additionally, the act requires an independent oversight organization to monitor program implementation and mandates a Government Accountability Office report to analyze maternal and infant health data within the correctional system.

HRES 1428: Expressing support for Reproductive Justice on the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America.

This resolution expresses support for reproductive justice as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary. It defines reproductive justice as the right to have children, not have children, and raise them in safe communities, emphasizing that these rights should not depend on race, income, or location. The document calls for policies that ensure universal access to comprehensive healthcare, including abortion and contraception, while condemning the criminalization of pregnancy outcomes and forced sterilization. Additionally, it advocates for universal paid family leave, affordable childcare, and medically accurate sex education to support families. Ultimately, the resolution frames reproductive freedom as a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of democracy rather than a privilege.
