H.R. 3134
Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015
As introduced on July 21, 2015
SUMMARY
H.R. 3134 would, for a one-year period following enactment, prohibit federal funds from
being made available to Planned Parenthood Federation of America or any of its affiliates
or clinics (collectively referred to as Planned Parenthood for this estimate), unless such
entities certify that the affiliates or clinics will not perform, and will not provide any
funds to any other entity that performs, an abortion during such period.
The effects that H.R. 3134 would have on federal spending are highly uncertain and
would depend largely on the extent to which individuals who otherwise would obtain
Medicaid-funded services from Planned Parenthood would either:
 Continue to obtain services from Planned Parenthood without Medicaid
reimbursement;
 Obtain services from other health clinics and medical practitioners that
receive Medicaid reimbursement; or,
 No longer obtain such services.
After considering a range of possible outcomes, CBO estimates that the center of that
range would be a reduction in direct spending totaling $235 million over the 2016-2025
period. Because enacting this legislation would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go
procedures apply. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.
H.R. 3134 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
