Bill > HB578

This bill requires organizations providing pregnancy-related services to offer medically accurate and unbiased information about reproductive health options in order to receive state funding. The bill defines "medically accurate and unbiased information" as data that is verified by scientific research, recognized as correct by leading medical organizations (such as the American Medical Association, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and National Institutes of Health), or recommended by nationally recognized accrediting organizations like the Joint Commission. "Pregnancy-related services" are broadly defined to include family planning, abortion care, prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. To be eligible for state funding, these organizations must provide comprehensive information on reproductive health options, covering topics like birth control, pregnancy, adoption, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. The bill aims to ensure that individuals receive scientifically sound and objective information when seeking pregnancy-related services and counseling.
