The proposed bill would introduce the Positive Alternatives for Pregnancy and Parenting Grant Program, which would be administered by the Arizona Department of Health Services. This new program aims to support nonprofit organizations that provide pregnancy-related services, including medical care, nutritional education, housing assistance, and parenting support. While current statutes remain unchanged, the bill would insert provisions detailing the administration of the grant program, including competitive grant awards, restrictions on fund usage for political or religious purposes, and requirements for client confidentiality.

Additionally, the bill would establish criteria for grant eligibility, emphasizing nonprofit status and a mission focused on promoting healthy pregnancies. It would also mandate that grant funds cannot be used for abortion services, except in specific medical circumstances, and require annual audits and reporting to ensure transparency and accountability. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance support for pregnant women and promote alternatives to abortion through structured funding and oversight.
