Bill > AB383A

This bill establishes the Right to Reproductive Health Care Act, which prohibits governmental entities from substantially burdening access to reproductive health services or a healthcare provider's ability to provide such services. The bill defines reproductive health services broadly, including medical, surgical, counseling, or referral services related to pregnancy, contraception, miscarriage, and in-vitro fertilization. A governmental entity can only impose limitations on reproductive health services if they can prove by clear and convincing evidence that such limitations further a compelling interest and are the least restrictive means of doing so. The bill allows individuals or healthcare providers who have been substantially burdened to bring legal action and requires courts to award costs and attorney's fees to those who prevail. Additionally, the bill expands Medicaid coverage to include voluntary sterilization for men, clinical services related to contraception, language translation services for contraceptive care, and requires reimbursement for contraceptive services at rates comparable to those for physicians. The legislation applies to all state and local laws, whether enacted before or after January 1, 2024, and includes appropriations to support the implementation of these new requirements.
