Bill > SB1152

This bill aims to protect individuals' rights to access and provide reproductive health services in Michigan. It prohibits the use of civil processes, such as subpoenas, to gather evidence against individuals engaging in "legally protected health activities," which include seeking, providing, or referring for reproductive health services. The bill also creates a new civil cause of action for individuals who face unlawful interference with their rights to access or provide reproductive health services, allowing them to recover compensatory and punitive damages, as well as legal fees. The bill seeks to ensure that Michigan law is exclusively applied in such cases and that evidence related to legally protected health activities is generally inadmissible in proceedings against the individuals involved.
