AI Summary

This bill prohibits abortion in Utah, with limited exceptions. It defines "abortion" and outlines the only circumstances where an abortion may be performed, such as to save the life of the pregnant woman or in cases of rape, incest, or severe fetal abnormalities. The bill also includes penalties for violations, allows the Department of Health to take corrective action against abortion clinics, and states that it supersedes any conflicting provisions in the Utah Code. The bill's provisions will take effect once a court of binding authority has ruled that a state may prohibit abortion at any time during pregnancy, subject to the exceptions in the bill.
