GA HR274

Urges the General Assembly to redirect approximately $2 million annually from crisis pregnancy centers to the Georgia Pregnancy and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program

Georgia Pregnancy and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program provides in-home visits for at-risk and underserved rural communities during pregnancy and early childhood to improve birth outcomes, reduce preterm deliveries, and decrease infant and maternal mortality rates

FY 2026 budget already includes $2.98 million to expand this pilot program administered by the Department of Public Health

Resolution argues crisis pregnancy centers (approximately 89 in Georgia) primarily serve anti-abortion purposes rather than providing comprehensive reproductive care

Proposes budget-neutral reallocation, citing reduced need for crisis pregnancy centers given the state's six-week abortion restriction
