Bill > HB1367

This bill adds mifepristone to Schedule IV controlled substances and establishes a new criminal offense called "coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud". Specifically, the bill adds mifepristone to the existing list of Schedule IV drugs, which are substances with a low potential for abuse, accepted medical use, and limited potential for physical or psychological dependence. The new criminal offense makes it a class B felony to knowingly and intentionally use an abortion-inducing drug on a pregnant woman without her knowledge or consent with the intent to cause an abortion. The bill emphasizes that this new offense does not preclude prosecution under other laws, such as murder, if the use of the abortion-inducing drug results in the death or serious bodily injury of the pregnant woman. The legislation aims to create additional legal protections against non-consensual medical procedures and specifically targets the unauthorized use of abortion-inducing medications.
