Expanding Access to Family Planning Act

This bill sets up a new Title X Clinic Fund to support family planning clinics across the country. It would send steady money each year to help clinics offer services and to build or upgrade facilities. Counseling must be neutral and patient-led, meaning staff give information without pushing a decision. Patients with a positive pregnancy test must be offered information about prenatal care and birth, infant care/adoption options, and abortion; if they ask, they must get neutral, factual info and referrals, except on topics they don’t want to discuss.

Key points

• Who is affected: Clinics that provide Title X family planning services, and the patients they serve.
• What changes: Creates a fund with annual money for care and for building/renovation; requires neutral, non-pushy pregnancy counseling covering all options; and bars blocking qualified providers from subawards for reasons other than inability to provide Title X services.
• How much: $512 million each year for services, plus $50 million each year for clinic buildings and equipment.
• When: Funding runs from fiscal years 2026 through 2035, and the money stays available until used.
