That is why I’m joining Reps. Casten and Nadler in introducing the FACES Act to determine what further steps must be taken to best protect individuals seeking reproductive care, and the workers who provide the care.
Study barriers to enforcement of the FACE Act and identify steps to ensure safe access to reproductive health clinics.

Reps. Casten, Nadler, and Schakowsky introduced the FACES Act of 2024. The release says the bill would study DOJ FACE Act enforcement criteria, barriers, geographic variation, plans to overcome barriers, best-practice communication to police, and legislative options for Congress.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Schakowsky as an original cosponsor of H.R.10063 on 2024-10-29. The bill’s latest action was referral to House Judiciary, and its status remained Introduced.
Assessments
Schakowsky materially advanced the promise by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R.10063, the FACES Act of 2024, which directly proposed a study of FACE Act enforcement barriers and steps to ensure safe access to reproductive health clinics. However, the bill remained introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence that the study, report, or equivalent federal oversight outcome was completed or enacted. This was a serious same-term legislative attempt, but the promised outcome was not delivered.
