HB 931 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

HEALTH: Prohibits a contractor or subcontractor of the Louisiana Pregnancy and Baby Care initiative from conditioning services on religious requirements (OR SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

HB 931 prohibits contractors or subcontractors receiving state funds through Louisiana's Pregnancy and Baby Care Initiative from requiring clients to attend religious instruction, watch religious videos, or participate in religious services to access services. This directly affects organizations providing pregnancy and baby care services funded by the state. The bill mandates that the state department investigate complaints about violations, and contractors found noncompliant may face ineligibility, suspension, or a 90-day ban on future state funding. It ensures services remain accessible without religious conditions, applying specifically to this state-funded program.
