     Wedlock Births.--
       ``(1) In general.--The amount of the grant payable to a 
     State under section 403(a)(1)(A) for fiscal years 1998, 1999, 
     and 2000 shall be increased by--

     number of children in the State in families with incomes 
     below the poverty line, according to the most recently 
     available Census data, if--
       ``(i) the illegitimacy ratio of the State for the most 
     recent fiscal year for which such information is available is 
     at least 1 percentage point lower than the illegitimacy ratio 
     of the State for fiscal year 1995 (or, if such information is 
     not available, the first available year after 1995 for which 
     such data is available); and
       ``(ii) the rate of induced pregnancy terminations for the 
     same most recent fiscal year in the State is not higher than 
     the rate of induced pregnancy terminations in the State for 
     fiscal year 1995 (or, the same first available year); or

     and the illegitimacy ratio of such State for fiscal year 1995 
     or, where appropriate, the first available year after 1995

     in State methods of reporting data used to calculate the 
     illegitimacy ratio or if the Secretary determines that the 
     relevant non-increase in the rate of induced pregnancy 
     terminations for an applicable fiscal year as compared to 
     fiscal year 1995 or, the appropriate fiscal year, is the 
     result of a change in State methods of reporting data used to 
     calculate the rate of induced pregnancy terminations.

     information is available; divided by
       ``(B) the number of births that occurred in the State 
     during the most recent fiscal year for which such information 
     is available.
       ``(4) Poverty line.--For purposes of this subsection, the 
     term `poverty line' has the meaning given such term in 
     section 403(a)(3)(D)(iii).

     appropriated and there are appropriated such sums as may be 
     necessary for fiscal years 1998, 1999, and 2000 for the 
     purpose of increasing the amount of the grant payable to a 
     State under section 403(a)(1) in accordance with this 
     subsection.
