This bill, HR830, aims to ensure that individuals have the right to access contraceptives and use contraception.

The bill would affect individuals seeking contraceptive services and healthcare providers who offer these services. By protecting access and the freedom to provide information, it ensures that people can make informed decisions about their reproductive health and that providers can offer these essential services without undue restrictions.
As of October 24, 2025, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Rules. Recently, a motion to discharge the committee was filed on June 9, 2026, with petition number 119-23. This action aims to expedite the bill's progress by allowing it to be considered directly on the House floor if enough support is garnered.
