The "Supporting Women Act" establishes a grant program administered by the commissioner of health to provide financial support to women's pregnancy centers and maternity homes. The program aims to assist pregnant women and new mothers by funding housing, services, and resources that encourage them to carry their pregnancies to term and care for their children after birth. To qualify for grants, organizations must be nonprofit, offer relevant programs and services, and not use grant funds for abortion-related activities. The bill outlines specific eligibility criteria and stipulates that grant funds must be used for supportive programs and services.

Additionally, the bill includes a reduction in appropriations for the existing sexual and reproductive health services grants program, cutting $4 million for both fiscal years 2026 and 2027. In contrast, it appropriates $4 million each for the same fiscal years to support the new grant program for women's pregnancy centers and maternity homes, with specified allocations for each type of organization. The legislation also emphasizes the importance of privacy protections for women seeking services and mandates monitoring and review of grant recipients to ensure compliance with the program's requirements.
