No Taxpayer Funded Abortion Travel for Illegal Aliens Act
Plain Language Summary
# Bill Summary: No Taxpayer Funded Abortion Travel for Illegal Aliens Act **What the bill would do:** This bill (HR 6191) would prohibit federal funding from being used to pay for abortion-related travel expenses for people who are in the United States illegally. The legislation aims to prevent taxpayer dollars—whether through federal grants, programs, or agencies—from covering transportation costs for undocumented immigrants seeking abortion services across state lines or to other locations. **Who it affects and key provisions:** The bill would primarily affect undocumented immigrants and federal programs that currently allocate funds for healthcare or travel assistance. It targets federal funding mechanisms rather than individual states.
The bill doesn't specify which federal programs or funding streams it applies to, as those details would typically be clarified in committee discussions. **Current status:** As of now, HR 6191 remains in committee, meaning it has not advanced to a full House vote. The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Mark Harris (R-NC). No companion legislation in the Senate has been identified in the provided information.
