This legislation, known as the "Adoption Information Act," aims to amend Title V of the Social Security Act by establishing new requirements for family planning service projects and programs that receive federal grants under this title. Specifically, it mandates that these projects provide individuals inquiring about medical or abortion services with a pamphlet. This pamphlet must contain a comprehensive list of regional adoption centers, including their addresses and telephone numbers, and individuals must be given an opportunity to read it. The Secretary is tasked with annually preparing, updating, and distributing these required pamphlets to all covered projects and programs. Crucially, the bill stipulates that no additional funds will be appropriated for this purpose; instead, existing funds under Title V must be used to implement these provisions.
