Bill > HB2305

This bill requires healthcare providers to report specific abortion-related complications to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). The bill defines "abortion complication" as a comprehensive list of 25 physical and psychological conditions that can arise from an abortion, ranging from medical issues like uterine perforation and infection to psychological conditions such as depression and anxiety. Healthcare providers, including licensed medical doctors, mid-level practitioners, and certain behavioral health professionals, must submit a detailed report for each patient treated for an abortion-related complication. The required report includes extensive patient information such as age, race, residence, type of abortion, medications taken, and specifics about the diagnosed and treated complications. KDHE must compile quarterly public reports summarizing the collected data and submit an annual anonymized report to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Starting September 1, 2025, healthcare providers who fail to report abortion complications will face a class B nonperson misdemeanor. The bill aims to create a comprehensive tracking system for abortion-related medical issues and ensure transparency in reporting such complications.
