Bill Summary

AN ACT to list certain constitutional rights related to reproductive freedom; to prohibit the violation of certain rights and provide remedies; to provide for the powers and duties of certain state and local governmental officers and entities; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.

AI Summary

This bill creates the Reproductive Freedom for All Act, which enshrines the fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including the right to make decisions about pregnancy, in the Michigan Constitution. The bill prohibits the state from denying, burdening, or infringing upon this right unless justified by a compelling state interest achieved through the least restrictive means. It also prevents the state from penalizing or prosecuting individuals based on their pregnancy outcomes or for assisting a pregnant individual in exercising their reproductive freedom. The bill provides legal recourse for individuals or entities who allege violations of these rights, and it requires the state to enforce these provisions. Additionally, the bill repeals several existing laws related to abortion and reproductive health.
