Providing for Life Act of 2023

The Providing for Life Act of 2023 is a comprehensive legislative package with multiple provisions affecting family support services. It extends the child tax credit to unborn children (with specific requirements), creates a new Social Security-funded parental leave benefit for parents with certain work history, and requires biological fathers to pay for medical expenses related to pregnancy and delivery. The bill also mandates colleges to provide pregnant students with information about resources (excluding abortion services), provides grants for community-based maternal mentoring programs, and expands support for pregnancy resource centers. The bill directly affects taxpayers, parents, pregnant students, and social service organizations, with provisions aimed at supporting families during pregnancy, childbirth, and early child-rearing.
