AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to revise the terminology used in Idaho statutes, replacing the terms "fetus" and "stillborn fetus" with "preborn child" and "stillborn child." The bill makes these changes across numerous sections of Idaho law related to abortion, criminal offenses, vital statistics, anatomical gifts, and other areas. The purpose is to recognize the unborn as "preborn children" rather than fetuses. The bill also includes provisions related to informed consent, reporting of abortion complications, and authorization for final disposition of stillborn children. The bill declares an emergency and provides an effective date of July 1, 2024.
