Bill > S16

This bill, the Child Custody Protection Act of 2021, amends Title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit the transportation of minors across state lines to circumvent state laws requiring parental involvement in minor's abortion decisions. It defines key terms like "minor," "parent," and "law requiring parental involvement in a minor's abortion decision." The bill makes it a federal crime to knowingly transport a minor across state lines with the intent that the minor obtain an abortion, thereby violating the rights of the minor's parent under state law. However, it provides exceptions for abortions necessary to save the minor's life and protects the minor and the parent from prosecution. The bill also allows a parent who suffers harm from a violation to obtain civil relief, except in cases of incest.
