An Act To Improve Women'S Health And Economic Security By Funding Family Planning Services

This bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to provide funding for family planning services and comprehensive family life education across Maine. It establishes a dedicated fund that will receive an initial one-time allocation of $3.8 million and future transfers of unused state funds to support these programs. The legislation requires the department to award grants to a single provider responsible for managing and overseeing the delivery of these services, while prohibiting the use of fee-for-service payment models.
