AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would let the Secretary of the Treasury give grants to nonprofit and community-based groups that help people pay for travel and related support when seeking abortion services. Grant money could cover round-trip travel, lodging, meals, childcare, translation, doula care, patient information, and lost wages, but not the cost of the abortion procedure itself. Groups could spend up to 15 percent of a grant on organizational costs, and groups that discourage people from seeking an abortion would not be eligible. The bill would override state, tribal, territorial, or local laws that would block use of the funds, bar federal officials running the program from cooperating with state or local antiabortion proceedings, and authorize $350 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
