Let Pregnancy Centers Serve Act of 2025
Plain Language Summary
# Let Pregnancy Centers Serve Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 2226, called the "Let Pregnancy Centers Serve Act of 2025," aims to protect pregnancy support centers (also known as crisis pregnancy centers) from state and local regulations. While the specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, bills with this title typically propose preventing states and cities from imposing requirements on these centers—such as mandatory disclosures about services, licensing standards, or regulations about advertising practices. The bill would likely establish federal protections for these facilities and their operations. **Who It Affects** This bill would directly affect pregnancy support centers that provide services like pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and counseling.
It would also impact states and localities that currently regulate these centers, potentially limiting their ability to enforce local laws. Women seeking pregnancy-related services and information would be indirectly affected by any changes to how these centers operate or communicate with clients. **Current Status** As of now, HR 2226 is in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Christopher Smith (R-NJ).
