      SUMMARY OF THE AMENDMENT TO H.R. 3134 CONSIDERED AS ADOPTED

Health Centers) in efforts to provide quality women's health.

          TEXT OF AMENDMENT TO H.R. 3134 CONSIDERED AS ADOPTED

  Redesignate section 2 as section 3.
  After section 1, insert the following:

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

  Congress finds the following:
          (1) State and county health departments, community 
        health centers, hospitals, physicians offices, and 
        other entities currently provide, and will continue to 
        provide, health services to women. Such health services 
        include relevant diagnostic laboratory and radiology 
        services, well-child care, prenatal and postpartum 
        care, immunization, family planning services (including 
        contraception), cervical and breast cancer screenings 
        and referrals, and sexually transmitted disease 
        testing.
          (2) Many such entities provide services to all 
        persons, regardless of the person's ability to pay, and 
        provide services in medically underserved areas and to 
        medically underserved populations.
          (3) All funds that are no longer available to Planned 
        Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. and its 
        affiliates and clinics pursuant to this Act will 
        continue to be made available to other eligible 
        entities to provide women's health care services.
          (4) Funds authorized to be appropriated, and 
        appropriated, by section 4 are offset by the funding 
        limitation under section 3(a).
  Add at the end the following:

SEC. 4. FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM.

  (a) In General.--There is authorized to be appropriated, and 
appropriated, $235,000,000 for the community health center 
program under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (42 
U.S.C. 254b), in addition to any other funds made available to 
such program, for the period for which the funding limitation 
under section 3(a) applies.
  (b) Limitation.--None of the funds authorized or appropriated 
pursuant to subsection (a) may be expended for an abortion 
other than as described in section 3(b).

SEC. 5. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

  Nothing in this Act shall be construed to reduce overall 
Federal funding available in support of women's health.

                                  [all]
