Lets states use federal welfare grants to support pregnancy centers.

This bill would make it clear that states can use federal welfare grants to support pregnancy centers. This means states would have explicit permission to fund organizations that offer services like counseling, education, and material aid to pregnant women and new parents.

What Would Change

Today, it's not explicitly clear if states can use federal welfare grants to fund pregnancy centers, leading to potential legal questions. If this bill passes, states would have clear permission to use these grants for pregnancy centers that meet the bill's definition, potentially increasing funding and access to services for families.

Key Provisions

Lets states use federal welfare grants from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to support pregnancy centers.
Defines a "pregnancy center" as an organization that supports the life of the mother and unborn child, and offers resources and services to mothers, fathers, and families, such as counseling, education, and material aid.
