Pregnant Students’ Rights Act of 2023
This bill requires public colleges receiving federal funds to provide annual information to students about pregnancy-related accommodations and resources that exclude abortion services. It mandates colleges to send campus-wide emails or include this information in student handbooks/orientations, establish protocols for meetings with leadership regarding pregnancy-related concerns, and submit annual reports to Congress. The reports must include confidential student feedback on whether they felt adequate non-abortion resources were available, experienced potential Title IX violations due to pregnancy, or considered dropping out because of pregnancy or related health events. The bill directly affects public colleges and enrolled students, particularly those who are pregnant or may become pregnant while seeking to continue their education.
