Health Insurance Mandates

The table below indicates whether states require insurance plans to cover contraception, abortion, and sterilization and whether they have exemptions only for houses of worship or for a broad set of religious employers. States that have either no mandates or whose mandates include a broad religious exemption are indicated with checkmarks as providing a safeguard for religious employers in this regard.

Note on citations:
Due to changes in online law databases and states’ websites, we cannot ensure that every link to a state law will be functional in perpetuity. If a link to a statute is no longer functional, please use a search engine to locate the state’s code and use the citation number to manually navigate to the relevant law. Where multiple laws are cited, the link is for the first law listed. For more information on citations, download the full data set which includes additional research notes.
