The bill requires every college and university that takes part in federal student aid programs to hand pregnant and potentially-pregnant students information about their rights and options for carrying a pregnancy to term. It amends Section 485 of the Higher Education Act to mandate that each such institution tell prospective and enrolled students, including part-timers, about on-campus and community resources that help a pregnant student carry a baby to term and care for it afterward, the accommodations available to do so, and how to file a Title IX complaint with the Department of Education or the institution if the student believes they faced discrimination over deciding to carry a baby to term. Institutions must deliver this through an email to each enrolled student at least once a year, plus placement in student handbooks, at orientations, at health or counseling centers, and on the institution's public website. A rule of construction bars the Secretary from using the provision to require any additional information or create any rights beyond those the section lists.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 14 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 22 quarterly reports filed by 14 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: National Assn of Independent Colleges & Universities; Susan B Anthony List; National Council of Jewish Women; National Right Life Committee; Reproductive Freedom for All. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 9 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
