HF 2883 — Use of funds limited for state-sponsored health programs for funding abortions

Overview

HF 2883 is a Minnesota House bill introduced on March 27, 2025, that would limit the use of funds allocated to state-sponsored health programs for funding abortion services. The bill has been introduced and referred to the Health Finance and Policy committee. A Senate companion bill is SF 705.

Purpose and intent

  • The bill aims to ensure that funds allocated to state-sponsored health programs are not used to pay for abortion services.
  • It signals a policy preference regarding the uses of public funds within health programs administered or supported by the state.

Key provisions (based on available information)

  • The text publicly available with the introduction indicates a prohibition or restriction on using funds from state-sponsored health programs to fund abortions.
  • Specific definitions (e.g., what constitutes “state-sponsored health programs” and what counts as “funding abortions”), exemptions, enforcement mechanisms, and any reporting requirements would be detailed in the bill’s full language. Those details are not provided in the summary available at introduction.
  • It is common for statutory proposals to include sections on definitions, prohibitions, exceptions (if any), penalties or remedies for noncompliance, and fiscal/agency implementation guidance; readers should review the text for exact language.

Affected parties and impact

  • State-sponsored health programs and their administrators/departments would implement the provisions.
  • Patients seeking abortion services funded through these programs could be affected, depending on the scope and definitions.
  • Health care providers participating in programs that receive state funds may experience changes in how reimbursements are allocated.
  • Taxpayers and the broader policy environment around public funding for abortion services could be influenced.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduced: March 27, 2025.
  • Status: Introduction and first reading; referred to Health Finance and Policy.
  • Related legislation: SF 705 is the Senate companion bill.

Next steps for readers
