Financial Effectiveness and Transparency Act.

This bill redirects $6.75 million in state funding from the Carolina Pregnancy Care Fellowship to evidence-based maternal and infant health programs administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. It requires crisis pregnancy centers receiving state funds to submit detailed annual reports on their finances, staffing, and client services, while also mandating that these centers provide free copies of client records upon request. The legislation defines crisis pregnancy centers as nonprofit organizations offering pregnancy care and counseling but excludes facilities that perform abortions. These changes are designed to increase transparency and shift financial support toward specific public health initiatives starting in the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
