Establishing an abortion savings program.

HB 2657 establishes an abortion savings program funded by an annual assessment on health carriers. Health carriers must pay $0.82 per coverage month in 2027 (then $0.165 annually), with revenues deposited into a dedicated account. The program provides grants to eligible organizations offering direct patient abortion clinical care services, prioritizing access for individuals without sufficient resources where federal funding is prohibited. Strict privacy protections prevent disclosure of identifying information for staff, providers, or patients receiving services, and all grant funds must be used solely for approved abortion care. The bill directly affects health carriers through the assessment and abortion care providers through grant eligibility.
