What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryColleges must share pregnancy resources with students
This bill would require colleges and universities that receive federal student aid money to give students clear information about pregnancy support. Specifically, they'd have to tell students about on-campus and community resources available to help with pregnancy and baby care, what accommodations the school offers for pregnant students and new parents, and how to file a complaint if they face discrimination because they want to carry a pregnancy to term.
How it affects you
If you're a college student or thinking about attending college, your school would need to provide you with this information upfront so you'd know what support exists if you become pregnant. The bill doesn't change what colleges must offer—it just requires them to make sure students know what's already available or what the school provides.

Pregnant Students' Rights Act
This bill requires each institution of higher education (IHE) that participates in federal student aid programs to provide certain information to prospective and enrolled students on the rights and resources for pregnant students to carry a baby to term or students who may become pregnant while enrolled at the IHE to carry a baby to term.
In particular, this required information must include
• a list of community and on-campus resources that exist to help a pregnant student in carrying the baby to term and caring for the baby after birth,
• information about the accommodations available to help a pregnant student carry the baby to term and parent the baby after birth, and
• information on how to file a discrimination complaint related to the student's determination to carry a baby to term.
