AI Summary
This bill creates a new section of the Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) to define "pregnancy resource centers," require them to be licensed by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, and establish licensure standards. The bill also amends the existing KRS 216B.990 to establish penalties for operating or advertising a pregnancy resource center without a license, which would be a Class A misdemeanor. The bill aims to regulate pregnancy resource centers, which provide services such as pregnancy testing, counseling, and ultrasounds, but are not hospitals or private residences.
