AB 551: Reproductive Health Emergency Preparedness Program.

This bill would establish a reproductive health emergency preparedness program to expand and improve access to reproductive and sexual health care in emergency departments across California. The program would require collaboration with California-based organizations to serve as technical assistance providers. The program would establish minimum standards, funding schedules, and procedures for awarding grants. Grant funds could be used for training emergency department staff, providing emergency contraception, and offering reproductive health education. The program would be funded by appropriation from the legislature or private sources. The program would be limited to a specific period, ending on January 1, 2030.
