HR 6359 requires colleges and universities receiving federal financial aid to inform students about their rights and available support if they become pregnant while enrolled. Schools must share information about on-campus and local resources, available accommodations such as schedule flexibility or medical leave, and how to access help. This information must be distributed through annual emails, public websites, student handbooks, orientations, and health and counseling centers.
The bill applies to all colleges and universities that participate in federal student aid programs, which includes most public and private schools in the country. It directly affects current and prospective students who are pregnant or could become pregnant during their enrollment.
The bill does not create new legal rights beyond those already established under Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education. It requires schools to ensure students are aware those existing rights and resources exist before they ever need them.
