AB 588 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: statutory right to contraception.

AB 588 establishes a statutory right to contraception in Wisconsin, protecting patients' access to FDA-approved contraceptive methods and providers' ability to offer them. The bill prohibits state or local governments from implementing laws that restrict access to FDA-approved contraceptives (like pills, IUDs, or condoms), single out contraceptive services, or make it harder to obtain them. It allows individuals, providers, or the Attorney General to sue if this right is violated, with courts able to block restrictive policies and award legal fees. The law specifically does not affect insurance coverage requirements for contraception. It directly affects all patients seeking contraception and healthcare providers offering these services.
