This bill amends the Social Security Act to clarify state authority regarding the use of federal funds. It explicitly states that nothing in Part A of Title IV, which governs the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, prohibits states from using their TANF grants to support pregnancy centers. The legislation defines a "pregnancy center" as an organization that supports protecting the life of both the mother and the unborn child. These centers must also offer a range of resources and services to mothers, fathers, and families, including relationship counseling, prenatal and pregnancy education, pregnancy testing, and material supports such as diapers and baby clothes.
