What this bill would do

The Reproductive Health Travel Fund Act of 2025 authorizes grants to help individuals access abortion services. The Secretary of the Treasury will award these funds to eligible entities to cover travel-related costs and logistical support. These funds can be used for things like transportation, lodging, meals, and childcare. The bill aims to help people who face barriers due to abortion bans or restrictions in their own states. Priority will be given to organizations serving people in restricted jurisdictions or those who facilitate travel across state lines. The act also authorizes up to $350,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030.
