Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families: The House is set to consider H.R. 6945, which aims to codify states' rights to use Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds for Pregnancy Resource Centers, ensuring these centers can continue providing material aid (diapers, formula) and services (counseling, education) without federal restriction.
Pregnant Students’ Rights:- The House will also consider H.R. 6359, which would mandate that colleges inform students about their rights, resources (like flexible schedules, excused absences), and support for pregnancy and parenting, building on Title IX protections but focusing on disseminating information to prevent discrimination and help students stay in school.
Reversing Ban Mining in Minnesota: House members will take up H.J. Res. 140, which would repeal a 2023 rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to Public Land Order No. 7917 that instituted a 20-year mineral withdrawal covering 225,504 acres in the Superior National Forest in Northern Minnesota.
