This bill amends existing Arizona law to expand the reporting requirements for abortions performed in the state. Key provisions include:
- Requiring hospitals and facilities performing abortions to submit detailed reports to the Department of Health Services on each abortion, including information about the woman's demographics, the reason for the abortion, the medical procedure used, any complications, and details about the physician performing the abortion.
- Requiring health professionals who provide medical care for complications resulting from an abortion to file a report with the Department of Health Services.
- Creating a new reporting requirement for physicians who provide informed consent information or fetal ultrasound services related to abortions.
- Directing the Department of Health Services to prepare an annual statistical report on abortion data, including breakdowns by reason and facility, while maintaining patient confidentiality.
The bill also outlines penalties for failing to comply with the new reporting requirements.
