HB388

Create pregnancy center autonomy and rights of expression act

Complete·5/1/25

Montana HB388 prohibits state and local governments from regulating pregnancy centers based on their non-involvement in abortion or contraception.

Montana HB388, passed in 2025, prohibits state and local governments from enacting laws, rules, or policies that interfere with the operations of pregnancy centers. These centers, which do not perform, refer, or counsel in favor of abortion or contraception, are protected from requirements to offer or provide such services, drugs, or devices. The act also shields them from mandates to refer patients for abortion or contraception, promote these services, or alter their staffing based on personal beliefs.
