Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to health; making changes to born alive infant provisions; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 145.423, subdivision 1.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Minnesota's existing law regarding medical care for infants born alive during an abortion procedure. The proposed changes clarify that a born alive infant resulting from an abortion must be fully recognized as a human person and provided immediate legal protection. The bill requires medical personnel to take all reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice to preserve the life and health of the born alive infant, which includes compiling appropriate medical records. The key modification is in the language, shifting from a general requirement to care for such an infant to a more specific mandate to preserve the infant's life and health. The bill would become effective the day after it is finally enacted, potentially ensuring more explicit medical and legal protections for infants born alive during abortion procedures.
