SB 6182 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Establishing an abortion savings program.

SB 6182 establishes an abortion savings program funded by an annual assessment on health insurance companies. It requires health carriers to pay $0.82 per coverage month in 2027 (then $0.165 annually) to a state account, with funds used to provide operating grants to abortion providers and funds that support clinical care access for people without sufficient resources. The bill prohibits disclosing patient or provider identifying information and mandates that at least 85% of program funds go directly to eligible organizations. These grants specifically support abortion services where federal funding is restricted, and the program cannot pass assessment costs to consumers through premiums or rates.
