Expanding Access to Family Planning Act

• Increased Funding for Grants and Contracts: Section 2(b)(1) provides $512,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2035 for necessary expenses for grants and contracts under title X. This is positive because it brings expanded and sustained national investment to clinics providing family planning services.

• Funding for Clinic Infrastructure: Section 2(b)(2) provides $50,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2035 for infrastructure, including construction, renovation, and equipment for title X clinics. This is positive because it helps improve the physical buildings and tools these clinics use to serve people.

• Fair Participation Rules for Subawards: Section 2(d)(1) states that no recipient of these funds who makes a subaward can stop an entity from participating for reasons other than the entity's inability to provide title X services. This is positive because it keeps the program open and fair for qualified providers.

• Comprehensive Pregnancy Counseling: Section 2(d)(2) requires that all pregnancy counseling be nondirective and gives patients with a positive pregnancy test the opportunity to get information and counseling on prenatal care and delivery, infant care, foster care and adoption, and pregnancy termination. This is positive because it ensures patients get full information and choices upon request.
