Federal Fund for Abortion Travel: Financial and Logistical Support for Individuals

This act authorizes a federal grant program to help individuals cover travel and logistical costs associated with accessing abortion services. The funds cover expenses like transportation, lodging, meals, childcare, and lost wages, but not the cost of the procedure itself. The program aims to reduce financial and logistical barriers, giving priority to entities serving individuals from jurisdictions with bans or those traveling to another jurisdiction.

Grants cover transportation, lodging, meals, childcare, translation services, doula care, and lost wages, but explicitly exclude the cost of the abortion procedure.
The law prohibits federal agencies from cooperating with state or local anti-abortion proceedings related to activities carried out under this program.
