BCRA of 2025

This bill would require states that receive certain federal justice grant funds to report to the U.S. Attorney General every quarter on inmates who are pregnant or give birth in state and local jails, prisons, and juvenile facilities. Reports would include anonymous totals on pregnancy tests, prenatal and postpartum care, pregnancy outcomes, use of restraints, and placement in restrictive housing. States that do not comply could lose up to 10 percent of certain federal grant funds, which would be given to states that do comply. The Attorney General would publish the reports, study the data, and report findings to Congress within 2 years.
