Plain Language Summary

# Pregnant Students' Rights Act Summary **What It Would Do:** This bill would require colleges and universities that receive federal student aid funding to provide information to students about resources and support available for pregnant students who choose to carry their pregnancies to term. Specifically, schools would need to inform students about on-campus and community resources (like housing, healthcare, and childcare), accommodations that help pregnant students continue their education, and how to file complaints if they experience discrimination based on their pregnancy decision. **Who It Affects:** The bill applies to all colleges and universities participating in federal student aid programs and would directly impact pregnant students or those planning to become pregnant while enrolled.

It also affects school administrators, who would need to compile and distribute this information. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress (2025-2026) by Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL) and has not yet been voted on or passed. It remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
