# Plain Language Summary of the MOMS Act

The MOMS Act (More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed Act) creates a new federal website called pregnancy.gov designed to help pregnant women, new mothers, and women raising young children find local resources and support services. The website will work like a search tool where women can enter their ZIP code and answer questions about what kind of help they need, then get a customized list of nearby resources within various distances—from their immediate area up to 100 miles away. The government will give grants to states to help them gather and organize information about available services in their communities, and the website will include things like mentorship programs, health services, financial assistance, childcare options, housing help, mental health support, adoption services, and information about alternatives to abortion.

A key feature of the bill is that it specifically excludes certain organizations from being listed on the website. Any organization that performs, refers for, or provides funding for abortions cannot appear on pregnancy.gov or receive grants to help build the resource database. This means the website will only direct users to organizations that don't provide abortion services. The bill also requires states to submit lists of licensed adoption agencies to the federal government, which will be compiled and made public on the same website to help women explore adoption options.

The bill also includes provisions to improve access to prenatal and postnatal care through telehealth (remote medical visits) and establishes a system for enforcing child support payments on behalf of unborn children. Additionally, the government will create a list of federal funding opportunities available to pregnancy support centers and nonprofits that offer the types of services described in the bill. The website must be available in multiple languages to serve families who don't speak English, and the government will track how many people use the site and gather feedback to improve it over time.
