The "Supporting Women Act" establishes a grant program in Minnesota to provide financial assistance to nonprofit women's pregnancy centers and maternity homes. This program, overseen by the commissioner of health, aims to support housing and services for pregnant women, especially those facing crises or homelessness. To be eligible for grants, organizations must offer relevant programs at no or reduced cost and cannot use the funds for abortion-related activities. The bill also defines maternity homes and pregnancy centers, sets eligibility criteria for grant recipients, and includes provisions for privacy protections and compliance monitoring.

In addition to the grant program, the bill outlines various appropriations from the general fund for fiscal years 2024 through 2027, totaling significant funding for health initiatives. Key allocations include $4,000,000 specifically for women's pregnancy centers and maternity homes, with $3,000,000 designated for pregnancy centers and $1,000,000 for maternity homes in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The bill also adjusts the general fund base, reducing it for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, while introducing new funding for various health-related programs, including a study on life-sustaining treatment orders and initiatives addressing infant mortality and substance use disorders.
