Bill > HB191

This bill establishes criminal penalties for transporting an unemancipated minor, defined as a child under 18 who is not married or legally freed from parental control, within the state for the purpose of obtaining a surgical procedure or an abortion without the express written consent of the minor's parent or guardian. A first offense is classified as a class A misdemeanor, while a second or subsequent offense becomes a class B felony. The bill outlines several exceptions, including for parents or legal guardians, individuals with written consent, common carriers acting within their business, ambulance personnel during emergencies, and those transporting a minor in a medical emergency requiring immediate attention. It also clarifies that the minor's consent is not a defense against prosecution.
