Enacted Changes in 2017

Congress overturned the 2016 Title X regulation that protected the ability of highly qualified family planning providers to participate in the program regardless of other services they might offer outside of Title X. The president formally rescinded the regulation in April 2017.
The administration promulgated interim final rules that expanded eligiblity for the employer exemption from the contraceptive mandate. The expansion went into effect in October 2017.
