HR 9842 United States House · 119th Congress

State Offices of Women’s Health Support and Expansion Act

This bill establishes a federal grant program to help states create or maintain dedicated offices focused on women's health. The funding, totaling $55 million annually from 2027 to 2031, is split evenly between all states and a formula based on factors like maternal mortality and poverty rates. Recipients must use the money for public education, data collection, and addressing social issues like housing and food insecurity, while also forming community advisory panels. The legislation includes strict rules prohibiting the use of funds to discourage reproductive health services and mandates strong privacy protections for any data collected.
