Pregnant Students' Rights Act
This bill requires each institution of higher education (IHE) that participates in federal student aid programs to provide certain information to prospective and enrolled students on the rights and resources for pregnant students to carry a baby to term or students who may become pregnant while enrolled at the IHE to carry a baby to term.
In particular, this required information must include
a list of community and on-campus resources that exist to help a pregnant student in carrying the baby to term and caring for the baby after birth,
information about the accommodations available to help a pregnant student carry the baby to term and parent the baby after birth, and
information on how to file a discrimination complaint related to the student's determination to carry a baby to term.

Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 118th Congress (2023-24), 274 of the 16,565 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 1.7 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one has no outstanding steps listed above.
Yes. 1 recorded roll-call vote cites this measure, listed further down this page with every member's position.
Ashley Moody (R-FL) introduced it on January 13, 2026, and 24 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They are 24 Republicans.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
It was introduced on January 13, 2026, 240 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 226 days ago, on January 27, 2026.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 119th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2027 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
