AI Summary
This bill establishes the Reproductive Health Services Address Confidentiality Program within the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The program allows eligible individuals, such as reproductive health service providers and their patients, to receive a confidential substitute address to protect their actual address. The bill outlines the application and certification process, sets rules for disclosing participants' actual addresses, and imposes penalties for providing false information or attempting to access participants' addresses through fraud or misrepresentation. The bill also grants civil immunity to the department and law enforcement agencies, except for gross negligence or intentional misconduct, and requires the department to adopt guidelines and eventually promulgate regulations to implement the program.
