HR 3235 creates federal programs for pregnant and postpartum women, including a resource website, grants, telehealth equipment, and early child support rules.
50-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
This bill sets up four new federal efforts: a public website at pregnancy.gov to help women find local support services by ZIP code, grants for nonprofits to connect women with resources and services, grants for rural and tribal health providers to offer remote monitoring equipment, and a rule requiring states to start collecting child support from biological fathers as early as conception if the mother asks. None of the website, grant, or funding programs may involve organizations connected to abortion.
Who does it affect?
Pregnant women, new mothers, and their children are the focus of this bill. Nonprofits, rural and tribal health care providers, and state child support agencies would take on new roles under it.
Why does it matter?
If passed, more women in underserved areas could access health monitoring and support services from home. States would also be required to change how and when they begin the child support process.
