HB 2535 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning access at public postsecondary educational institutions to medication abortion.

HB 2535 requires all public college and university student health centers in Washington to offer medication abortion access by the 2027-28 academic year, either through telehealth agreements with safety-net abortion providers or other cost-effective methods. Institutions without student health centers must provide referrals to abortion services and train staff on campus resources for telehealth appointments. The bill also mandates that all public colleges maintain a dedicated webpage with clear information on reproductive health services, including scheduling, academic accommodations, and links to state health resources. This law directly affects approximately 196,000 pregnancy-capable students at Washington's public institutions by reducing travel barriers and integrating abortion care into campus health services.
