Expanded Funding and Access to Family Planning Services (Title X)
This bill establishes a fund to provide funding for clinics offering family planning services under the Title X program. Over 10 years (fiscal years 2026–2035), more than $560 million annually will be allocated for services and infrastructure. It also mandates that pregnancy counseling must be non-directive, ensuring patients have the opportunity to receive information on options including prenatal care, adoption, and pregnancy termination.

Non-Directive Counseling: Clinics must provide patients with a positive pregnancy test the opportunity to receive neutral information on options: prenatal care, adoption, and pregnancy termination.
