2026-02-11: ASSUMING FIRST SPONSORSHIP - Ms. Houlahan asked unanimous consent that she may hereafter be considered as the first sponsor of H.R. 1742, a bill originally introduced by Representative Sherrill, for the purpose of adding cosponsors and requesting reprintings pursuant to clause 7 of rule XII. Agreed to without objection.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses abortion by mandating leave approval, travel reimbursement, privacy protections, and prohibition on adverse actions specifically for abortions not covered under existing military law (10 U.S.C. § 1093), thereby expanding practical access, funding support, and removal of command barriers for servicemembers and dependents. It also covers fertility/ART but that does not map to the defined topics.
