The "Expanding Access to Family Planning Act" establishes a Title X Clinic Fund within the Department of Health and Human Services to provide expanded and sustained national investment in clinics offering family planning services under Title X of the Public Health Service Act. For each fiscal year from 2026 through 2035, the bill appropriates $512,000,000 for grants and contracts supporting Title X services and an additional $50,000,000 for infrastructure improvements, including construction and renovation of Title X clinics, with all funds remaining available until expended. The legislation includes specific conditions for funding recipients, prohibiting them from excluding entities from subaward programs for reasons other than inability to provide Title X services. Furthermore, it mandates that all pregnancy counseling be nondirective , requiring clinics to offer information and counseling on all options—including prenatal care, adoption, and pregnancy termination—to patients with positive pregnancy tests, providing neutral and factual information upon request.
