Reproductive Health Travel Fund Act of 2023

HR 4268, the Reproductive Health Travel Fund Act of 2023, would provide $350 million annually (2024-2028) in federal grants to nonprofit organizations that help individuals cover travel and logistical costs for accessing abortion care across state lines. The bill directly supports people living in states with abortion bans or severe restrictions who must travel for care, including expenses like transportation, lodging, childcare, meals, and lost wages. Grants may not fund abortion procedures themselves but cover related logistical barriers identified in the bill’s findings, such as increased travel times and costs post-Dobbs. Eligible organizations must provide unbiased, medically accurate assistance, with priority given to those serving individuals traveling to access abortion services.
