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 provisions for privacy protections for women seeking services, requiring centers to maintain confidentiality regarding personal information. It also mandates monitoring and evaluation of grant recipients to ensure compliance with the program's objectives. The bill reduces appropriations for existing sexual and reproductive health services grants by $4 million in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027, while appropriating $4 million each year from the general fund specifically for the new grant program, with designated amounts for women's pregnancy centers and maternity homes.
