What this bill would do

This bill is titled the More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed Act or the MOMS Act. It creates a public website called pregnancy.gov to serve as a resource directory for pregnant women, postpartum women, and parents of young children. The legislation requires States to submit lists of licensed child placement agencies to be maintained on the website. It provides grants to support nonprofit organizations that help women carry pregnancies to term and care for their babies after birth. The bill also funds telehealth equipment to improve maternal and infant health care in rural and medically underserved areas. Finally, it amends the Social Security Act to allow for the establishment and enforcement of child support obligations on behalf of unborn children.
