This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 23-12 of the North Dakota Century Code, specifically addressing the standards and requirements for pregnancy resource centers that receive state funding. It defines key terms such as "client," "comprehensive counseling," and "health care service," and outlines the minimum standards these centers must meet to qualify for state funds. These standards include employing qualified health care providers, ensuring medically accurate counseling, maintaining transparent client care policies, and complying with federal health information regulations.

Additionally, the bill mandates that pregnancy resource centers provide detailed financial and operational information to the state before receiving grants, including budgets, staffing details, and the number of clients served. After completing a state grant program, centers are required to submit similar reports, along with an independent financial audit. This legislation aims to ensure that state-funded pregnancy resource centers operate with accountability and provide comprehensive, accurate services to clients.
