Restore Conscience and Religious Freedom Division power and Trump RFRA rules

Mandate directs restoring fully funded CRFD, OCR RFRA enforcement authority (vs OGC), Trump RFRA/religious freedom rule, vaccine religious accommodations, and withdrawing pharmacy abortion and HIPAA abortion guidances.

Mandate

Mandate Ch. 14 (HHS) — OCR Conscience Enforcement: restore and fully fund Conscience and Religious Freedom Division with enforcement delegations; issue/finalize Trump OCR RFRA rule; restore OCR authority on vaccine religious accommodations; withdraw pharmacy abortion mandate guidance and HIPAA guidance on abortion after Dobbs.

Undo plan

1) Balance conscience enforcement with patient emergency access and nondiscrimination. 2) Keep pharmacy access guidance ensuring timely contraception/medication abortion where lawful. 3) Maintain HIPAA privacy guidance that protects patients seeking reproductive care. 4) Fund OCR evenly across race, disability, and conscience dockets. 5) Verify: OCR inventory by statute; emergency care refusal incidents.
