Plain Language Summary

# Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2025 - Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would prohibit colleges and universities from receiving federal funding if they operate or partner with a health clinic that provides abortion services or abortion medication to students or employees. Schools would need to certify annually that any affiliated health facilities do not offer these services in order to keep their federal funding. **Who it affects:** The bill primarily affects colleges and universities that receive federal funds and currently offer or partner with clinics that provide abortion services.

It would also impact students and employees at those institutions who might otherwise access abortion services through campus health facilities. **Current status:** The bill was introduced in the Senate in January 2025 by Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate.
