AI Summary
This bill creates new requirements for healthcare providers regarding children born alive following an abortion or attempted abortion. It requires providers to exercise the same level of care and skill to preserve the life and health of the child as they would for any other child born alive at the same gestational age. The bill also imposes criminal penalties for violations, provides civil remedies for the woman on whom the abortion was performed, and gives enforcement authority to the state Department of Justice and district attorneys. Additionally, the bill creates a new Class A felony for intentionally causing the death of a child born alive under the circumstances described in the bill, while exempting the mother from prosecution.
