S. 3627 · Education
Pregnant Students’ Rights Act
Introduced Jan 13, 2026 · Cloture on the motion to proceed to the measure not invoked in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 47 - 45. Record Vote Number: 12. (CR S286)
What does this mean?

Colleges and universities that accept federal financial aid money (which covers most schools, since that's how many students pay for tuition) would have to give students clear information about resources for pregnancy and parenting. This means telling students what campus and local support exists to help them continue a pregnancy and care for the baby afterward, what accommodations the school offers (like flexible attendance or housing help), and how to file a complaint if they believe they've faced discrimination because they chose to continue a pregnancy. This information would need to be shared with both students already enrolled and prospective students still deciding where to apply.
