Bill Summary

Abortion Care Access Act

AI Summary

This bill, the Abortion Care Access Act, establishes the Abortion Care Clinical Training Program to protect access to abortion care by ensuring a sufficient number of health professionals are trained to provide abortion services. The bill creates a fund to support the program, requires the Governor to appropriate $3.5 million annually for the program, and expands the definition of "qualified provider" to include additional healthcare professionals who can perform abortions. The bill also mandates that the Maryland Medical Assistance Program and certain health insurance plans cover abortion care services without cost-sharing or restrictions. Additionally, the bill requires various reporting requirements and stakeholder engagement to improve transparency and access to information about abortion coverage.
