TITLE I: PREGNANCY SUPPORT
1. $2 Billion is hereby appropriated to fund the support and development of services for the assistance of women undergoing an eligible pregnancy. This goal shall be achieved through public and private collaboration, including with Pregnancy Assistance Groups (PAGs).
2. Beginning July 1, 2023, any public middle, junior high, or high school and any public college or university that receives any public funding from the federal government must allow reasonable access to its facilities and classrooms to PAGs to share information.
TITLE II: STILLBIRTH TAX CREDIT
1. For taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2024, an individual or married persons filing a joint return shall be allowed a refundable credit against the tax equal to $1,000 for each birth for which a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth has been issued and such stillbirth was not intentionally caused by the mother. The credit may be claimed only in the taxable year in which the stillbirth occurred and if the child would have become a dependent of the taxpayer as defined in federal law.
2. For any taxable year in which married persons file separate income tax returns, the credit provided under this section shall be allowed against the tax liability for only one (1) of such two (2) tax returns. If the amount of the credit exceeds the taxpayer's tax liability for the taxable year, the excess shall be refunded to such taxpayer.
TITLE III: SCHOOL RECORDS
1. In accordance with the rights of parents, any public or private employer, healthcare provider, camp, daycare, tutorial program, or school in Atlasia subject to FERPA or HIPPA shall adopt procedures for notifying a child's parent or legal guardian if there is a change in the child's services or monitoring related to the child's mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being and the employer, healthcare provider, camp, daycare, tutorial program, or school's ability to provide a safe and supportive environment for the child.
2. The procedures must reinforce the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of their children by requiring personnel to encourage a child to discuss issues relating to his or her well-being with his or her parent or legal guardian or to facilitate discussion of the issue with the parent or legal guardian.
3. The procedures may not prohibit parents or legal guardians from accessing any of their child's education and health records created, maintained, or used by the employer, healthcare provider, camp, daycare, tutorial program, or school.
4. An employer, healthcare provider, camp, daycare, tutorial program, or school may not adopt procedures or support forms that prohibit personnel from notifying a parent or legal guardian about his or her child's mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being, or a change in related services or monitoring, or that encourage or have the effect of encouraging a child to withhold from a parent or legal guardian such information.
5. Employer, healthcare provider, camp, daycare, tutorial program, or school personnel may not discourage or prohibit parental or guardian notification of and involvement in critical decisions affecting a child's mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being.
6. This act does not prohibit an employer, healthcare provider, camp, daycare, tutorial program, or school from adopting procedures that permit personnel to withhold such information from a parent or legal guardian if a reasonably prudent person would believe that disclosure would result in abuse, abandonment, or neglect to the child.
