S 3741 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act

This bill prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing a specific regulation (described in a proposed rule from the Federal Register) that would affect funding for pregnancy centers. It defines "pregnancy centers" as organizations supporting maternal and fetal life and providing services like counseling, pregnancy testing, diapers, and baby clothes. The law directly affects federally funded pregnancy centers by blocking a regulatory change that could restrict their eligibility for federal expenditures. The key mechanism is a statutory prohibition preventing HHS from advancing the proposed rule, preserving existing funding pathways for these centers.
