“A bill to expand birth control access is making its way to the Idaho House floor after it passed in a House Business Committee hearing Monday afternoon.

“Senate Bill 1234, which previously passed the Senate in a 19-16 vote, would require that insurance companies provide up to a six month supply of prescribed contraceptives to enrollees. The bill’s main sponsor, Sen. Melissa Wintrow, D-Boise, previously said the bill would make it easier for women who only have access to a one or three month supply of contraceptives under their current insurance plan.”
