This bill requires states to publicly report detailed information about any Medicaid payments they make to abortion providers. Within 60 days of the end of each fiscal year, any state that uses Medicaid funds (which include federal money) to pay for abortion services must submit a report to the federal government and post it on their state website. The report must include the exact dollar amount of each payment, what the payment was for, how it compares to previous years' payments to that provider, the number of abortions performed, how far along each pregnancy was, and what method was used for each abortion. The federal Department of Health and Human Services then has 90 days to compile all state reports and submit them to Congress and publish them online as well. Essentially, this creates a transparent tracking system so that anyone can see how much public Medicaid money goes to abortion providers and the specific details about those services. The bill defines abortion broadly to include any method of ending a pregnancy, with limited exceptions for cases after viability where the goal is to save the mother's life or health, or to remove a fetus that has already died.

Abortion Funding Awareness Act of 2025

Banks, Jim

Abortion Funding Awareness Act of 2025This bill establishes reporting requirements for states regarding certain Medicaid payments to abortion providers.Specifically, the bill requires states that make Medicaid payments using&nbsp;federal funds for any items or services furnished by an abortion provider to annually (1) submit a report to the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services on all such payments, and (2) publish the report on the state's website. The report must include specified information, including the number of abortions performed by the providers and the gestational age with respect to each such abortion. (Current law restricts the use of federal funds for abortions to cases of rape, incest, or life endangerment of the woman. States may use their own funds to cover abortions in other cases.)
