Expanding Access to Family Planning Act
S 1394, the Expanding Access to Family Planning Act, provides federal funding to support clinics offering family planning services under Title X of the Public Health Service Act. It allocates $512 million annually (2026-2035) for grants to clinics and $50 million for clinic infrastructure like construction and equipment. The bill requires clinics receiving this funding to provide nondirective pregnancy counseling, ensuring patients receive neutral information about all options - including prenatal care, adoption, and pregnancy termination - with referrals upon request. This directly affects Title X clinics and their patients by increasing financial support and mandating specific counseling standards.
