State Offices of Women’s Health Support and Expansion Act

This bill would create a federal grant program, run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to help each eligible state set up or maintain a state office of women's health. States could use the money for public education on women's health, data collection, programs addressing non-medical factors like housing and transportation, and an advisory panel of community members and health experts. Grant money could not be used to discourage people from seeking reproductive health services, including abortion and contraception, or to withhold or misrepresent medically accurate health information. The bill limits how data collected by these offices can be shared or used in legal proceedings, requires annual reports, and authorizes $55 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
