What AB 2531 does, verified September 4, 2026
The bill aims to expand access to abortion services in California. It would allow Medi-Cal enrolled providers to receive grants to offer free or reduced-cost abortion services to patients with low incomes who are uninsured or have inadequate health coverage. Additionally, the bill would make these services available to veterans who meet certain eligibility criteria. The bill also requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to publish a link to the state's abortion information website on its website, promoting information and resources for women veterans.
