HB 9260, the FY2027 Labor-HHS-Education funding bill, continues the federal ban on taxpayer funding of abortion and conscience protections for health care providers.
HB 9260 is the fiscal year 2027 funding bill for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. As the successor to last year's FY2026 measure, it carries forward the same family of abortion-funding riders: a Hyde Amendment-style ban on taxpayer funding of abortion (with exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother), Title X anti-referral restrictions, and conscience-protection language for health care providers who object to participating in abortion.
Continuing the federal abortion-funding ban for another fiscal year keeps taxpayer dollars from being used to pay for abortions, upholding the sanctity of life in how the federal government spends the public's money. The bill's conscience-protection provisions also ensure health care workers and institutions are not forced to participate in a procedure that violates their moral or religious convictions.
The House Appropriations Committee reported HB 9260 on June 11, 2026, and it was placed on the Union Calendar, where it now awaits a vote on the House floor.
