Bill Summary
CONCERNING THE CODIFICATION OF A PERSON'S FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO MAKE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH-CARE DECISIONS FREE FROM GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE.
AI Summary
This bill, the Reproductive Health Equity Act, aims to codify Coloradans' fundamental right to make their own reproductive health care decisions without government interference. It defines key terms like "abortion" and "reproductive health care," and establishes that individuals have the right to use or refuse contraception, continue a pregnancy and give birth, or have an abortion. The bill prohibits public entities from denying, restricting, or discriminating against these rights, and applies to all state and local laws, policies, and practices. The bill also includes a severability clause to preserve the validity of its provisions even if parts are found unconstitutional.
