SB 53 and HB 25: Insurance Coverage of Contraceptives

Access to contraception is critical to an individual’s autonomy, equality, and ability to participate in the social, economic, and political life. SB 53, sponsored by Senator Berta Gardner (D-Anchorage), and its House counterpart HB 25, sponsored by Representative Matt Claman (D-Anchorage), would ensure that insurance companies provide coverage for birth control for one year at a time.
