What this bill does
- This bill requires HHS to reinstate a 2019 rule protecting health care workers' rights to refuse services based on religious or moral objections.
- Health care providers and patients seeking services that conflict with provider beliefs are affected.
- The rule was previously blocked by courts; this bill would force HHS to implement it without modifications.
