On March 19, Governor Scott signed HB 41, codifying the Florida Pregnancy Support Services Program (FPSSP) in statute. Through a network of 106 pregnancy support centers across the state, FPSSP provides resources and services to pregnant mothers as they prepare to parent or place their babies for adoption. In addition to free pregnancy tests, local, non-profit centers offer counseling, referrals, material support, training, and pregnancy and childbirth education. Clients are eligible to receive services for up to one year after the child's birth. Establishing the program in statute better positions it in the annual budget process
We are grateful for Catholic Days at the Capitol participants who advocated for this legislation and thank the FLCANmembers who reached out to their lawmakers to urge support for SB 444 (Bean) / HB 41 (Toledo).
