AI Summary
This bill, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act of 2023, would prohibit the knowing transportation of a minor across state lines with the intent that the minor obtain an abortion, thereby circumventing the laws of the minor's state that require parental involvement in the abortion decision. The bill includes exceptions for life-endangering conditions, and provides that the minor and their parents cannot be prosecuted or sued for a violation. The bill also requires physicians who perform or induce an abortion on a minor who is a resident of another state to provide at least 24 hours' notice to a parent of the minor before the procedure, with some exceptions. The bill includes definitions of key terms such as "abortion," "minor," and "parent," and provides for civil actions by parents harmed by violations of the law.
