Bill > SB1164

This bill limits abortions in Arizona to 15 weeks of gestational age, except in cases of a medical emergency. It requires physicians to determine and document the gestational age of the fetus and report any abortions performed after 15 weeks. Physicians who violate the 15-week limit can face criminal penalties, have their medical licenses suspended or revoked, and be subject to civil penalties. The bill also includes legislative findings on fetal development and the risks of abortion, expressing the legislature's intent to restrict nontherapeutic or elective abortions after 15 weeks.
