Limit abortion laws based on how the fetus was conceived.

 

The purpose of this bill is to regulate abortion laws based on the circumstances under which the fetus was conceived, as

stated in the title.

 

 

his bill is necessary because the current abortion laws do not consider the different circumstances under which a fetus

may be conceived. This can create confusion and unfair situations. By adjusting the laws based on how the fetus was

conceived, the state can make rules clearer and more appropriate for different solutions

procediors.

 

 

The funding for this bill will come out of the state's existing healthcare budget. No new taxes or additional funding

sources are required. Any costs related to updating regulations, training staff, or enforcing the new rules will be

covered by reallocating current administrative funds within the health department.

 

 

Medical providers who knowingly fail to follow regulations in this bill may face a written warning for first violations,

a fine up to $500 for repeated violations, or temporary suspension of their license for failure to comply, determined by

the medical board. The state department of health will oversee the enforcement of this bill. The department will be

responsible for reviewing reports, issuing warnings, and applying penalties when necessary. The state department of

health may conduct routine audits of medical facilities to ensure procedures follow the updated regulations when

necessary. And all audits must follow existing state guidelines for medical privacy and patient confidentiality. Any

person who receives a penalty may request an appeal through the state medical review board.

 

 

This bill will take effect near January 2026 to allow enough time for the state health department and medical providers

to update their procedures and ensure full compliance.
