Bill Summary

Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act," amends North Carolina's General Statutes to establish new requirements and protections for infants born alive after an attempted abortion. It defines "born alive" and requires healthcare practitioners to provide the same level of care to such infants as any other newborn. The bill also imposes mandatory reporting requirements, prohibits prosecution of the mother, and establishes criminal and civil penalties for violations, including potential felony charges and monetary damages. The changes become effective on December 1, 2019 and apply to offenses committed on or after that date.
