The bill amends the West Virginia Mothers and Babies Pregnancy Support Program, which is managed by the Bureau for Public Health. It continues the program and establishes that pregnancy help organizations can receive funding if they meet specific standards set by the managing agency. Notably, the bill explicitly prohibits abortion industry organizations from receiving any funding from this program.

Additionally, the bill provides flexibility in how funds can be utilized by approved pregnancy help organizations. It allows for funding to cover capital expenditures, the addition of new services, compliance with licensing and accreditation requirements, and training for staff and volunteers. Furthermore, it stipulates that, aside from the specified uses, funds will be distributed based on a fee per service arrangement determined by the management agency.
