Summary
H.R. 6914 would require institutions of higher education that receive federal student aid under title IV of the Higher Education Act to provide specific information on the rights of pregnant students. Those requirements include a list of on-campus and community resources that exist to help pregnant students carry a baby to term, information about accommodations available to students during and after pregnancy, and information on how to report a violation of those rights.
CBO expects that institutions would comply with the requirements in the bill to remain eligible for federal student aid. As a result, CBO estimates enacting the bill would have no effect on federal spending for student aid.
Based on the cost of similar activities, CBO estimates that the Department of Education’s cost to implement H.R. 6914 would not be significant; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
