HR 435 United States House · 118th Congress

Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2023

This bill blocks federal funding for colleges that operate or partner with campus health clinics providing abortion drugs or abortions to students or staff. It requires institutions receiving federal funds to annually certify that no such services are offered at their on-campus clinics. The law specifically excludes hospital-based clinics from coverage and defines "abortion drugs" as medications intended to terminate pregnancy (excluding specific medical exceptions). It directly affects public and private colleges receiving federal aid, as most institutions of higher education qualify for such funding.
