The bill amends the West Virginia Code to continue the West Virginia Mothers and Babies Pregnancy Support Program under the Bureau for Public Health, allowing pregnancy help organizations to receive funding for various costs. It specifies that these organizations must meet certain standards set by the managing agency to be eligible for funding. Notably, the bill prohibits abortion industry organizations from receiving any funding from this program.

Additionally, the bill outlines the types of expenditures for which the program's funds may be used, including capital expenditures, costs for adding services, compliance with licensing and accreditation requirements, and training for staff and volunteers. It establishes that, aside from these specified uses, funds will be distributed on a fee-per-service basis as determined by the managing agency. This amendment aims to provide greater flexibility and support to pregnancy help organizations in West Virginia.
