What the document says
“None of the funds appropriated in this Act, and none of the funds in any trust fund to which funds are appropriated in this Act, shall be expended for any abortion.”
Section 506 of division B bars funds appropriated in the division, and funds in any trust fund to which the division appropriates, from being spent for any abortion or for health benefits coverage that includes coverage of abortion. It defines health benefits coverage as the package of services covered by a managed care provider or organization under a contract or other arrangement.
What the document actually says
“None of the funds appropriated in this Act, and none of the funds in any trust fund to which funds are appropriated in this Act, shall be expended for any abortion.”
That sentence, in plain words
No money in this part may be spent on this. That covers money put into a trust fund by this part too.
What this is about
The bar also reaches health coverage that includes it. The next part sets out when the bar does not apply.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
