Colleges that use federal student aid would have to tell students about help for pregnancy and parenting. The notice would explain support services, school changes, and how to file a discrimination complaint.

Latest action on H.R. 6359: Received in the Senate. Read twice. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 303.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects college students who are pregnant and choose to have the baby. It also affects student parents after birth, because schools would have to explain what support and school changes may be available. Colleges that take part in federal student aid programs would need to update emails, handbooks, orientation materials, health or counseling center information, and public websites.

Why this matters: Pregnant students may not know what help already exists, and this bill would make schools give them that information in clear ways. It could make rights, support services, and complaint steps easier to find. The bill could also change how schools handle student notices and campus materials. The text does not say whether this would improve graduation, services, or discrimination outcomes.

Key provisions in H.R. 6359

  • The bill covers colleges and universities that use federal student aid programs. These are Title IV programs under the Higher Education Act.
  • Schools must give the information to future students and enrolled students. Part-time students must get it too.
  • Schools must list help on campus and in the community. The help must support pregnant students who carry a baby to term and care for the baby after birth.
  • Schools must explain what changes or support are available. This covers pregnant students and student parents after birth.
  • Schools must explain how to file a Title IX complaint. Title IX is the federal law against sex discrimination in education, and complaints could go to the U.S. Department of Education or the school.
