HB 3411, the House companion to SB 1756, would prohibit federal discrimination against health care entities that decline to participate in abortion and strengthen enforcement of federal conscience laws.
HB 3411, the House companion to Senate Bill 1756, was introduced by Rep. August Pfluger. Like its Senate counterpart, it would amend the Public Health Service Act to prohibit discrimination against health care entities that decline, on religious or moral grounds, to participate in abortion, and would strengthen enforcement of existing federal conscience-protection laws.
The American Council supports this bill because it protects the conscience rights of health care workers and institutions — a core religious liberty concern — while also reinforcing federal policy that respects the sanctity of life. Pairing this House bill with its Senate companion improves the odds that meaningful conscience protections reach the President's desk.
HB 3411 was introduced on May 14, 2025, and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where it remains without further recorded action. The bill awaits a committee hearing or markup before it can move to the House floor.
