Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act of 2026

Introduced·6/8/26

The Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act of 2026 protects the right to travel freely among states for reproductive health care.

The Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act of 2026 aims to safeguard the freedom of travel for reproductive health care across state lines. It prohibits any individual, entity, or government from restricting, sanctioning, or discriminating against those traveling for reproductive health care. The act preempts state laws that conflict with these protections and allows for civil actions in federal or state courts. It also provides for the removal of cases to federal court and mandates the awarding of litigation costs and attorney's fees to prevailing plaintiffs.
