Bill overview
The Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act of 2022 aims to protect individuals' ability to travel across state lines to access reproductive healthcare services. It prohibits states or government officials from restricting or discriminating against people seeking or providing legal reproductive care outside their state. The bill establishes a federal enforcement mechanism, including a private right of action, and waives state immunity to ensure equal access to these services. It also preempts any state laws that conflict with the act’s protections.
