The bill amends the West Virginia Mothers and Babies Pregnancy Support Program, which is managed by the Bureau for Public Health, to clarify the distribution of funding to pregnancy help organizations. It establishes that these organizations must meet specific standards to be eligible for funding and explicitly prohibits abortion industry organizations from receiving any financial support from the program.

New provisions have been added to outline the acceptable uses of the program's funds. These include capital expenditures, costs associated with expanding services, meeting licensing and accreditation requirements, and training for staff and volunteers. Additionally, the bill modifies the previous funding distribution method, moving away from a fee per service arrangement to a more flexible funding model based on the newly defined categories of expenditures.
