Bill overview
The Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act of 2023 aims to protect individuals’ ability to travel out of state to access reproductive healthcare services. It prohibits states and government officials from restricting or discriminating against people seeking or providing such care, and ensures equal access to these services regardless of where they are offered. The bill establishes a federal enforcement mechanism and preempts state laws that conflict with this right, allowing for civil lawsuits and providing remedies for violations.
