Pregnancy.Gov Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Pregnancy.Gov Act requires HHS to publish pregnancy.gov within one year and keeps implementation at the Office of the Secretary level. The website must provide a clearinghouse of resources for pregnant women, ask questions that generate a ZIP-code resource list, let users filter online or within 1, 5, 10, 50, or 100 miles, collect user feedback, and allow users to consent to phone or email follow-up. HHS must invite states to recommend resources and develop criteria requiring recommended resources to be non-prohibited entities and to have provided services for at least three consecutive years. HHS may provide state grants to aggregate resources and support outreach. Prohibited entities that perform, induce, refer for, counsel in favor of, or financially support abortions cannot be listed or receive grants. HHS must provide multilingual access, submit a 180-day report on traffic, feedback, gaps, improvements, and certification that prohibited entities are excluded, and may use up to $50 million from State PREP or title X amounts for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for the grant program.
Who Benefits and How
Pregnant women benefit from a ZIP-code searchable federal website that points to local, online, and distance-filtered resources. State health agencies benefit from grants to aggregate resource lists and outreach plans. Pregnancy resource providers benefit if they meet the three-year service and non-prohibited-entity criteria for listing. Families who speak languages other than English benefit from the widest possible multilingual access requirement.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Abortion providers are excluded from pregnancy.gov listings and state aggregation grants if they perform, refer for, counsel in favor of, or financially support abortions. HHS Office staff must build the website, set criteria, award grants, protect user confidentiality, and report to Congress within 180 days. States receiving grants must submit applications, outreach plans, and resource lists that follow HHS criteria. Title X and State PREP funding streams may be tapped for up to $50 million for state resource aggregation grants through fiscal 2030.
