AI Summary

This bill amends and repeals several sections of Idaho law related to abortion, primarily removing provisions that previously governed abortion-related activities and restrictions. The bill modifies Section 18-608 by removing a specific code reference, repeals Sections 18-622 and 18-623 (related to the Defense of Life Act and abortion trafficking), and changes several other sections of law. Specifically, the bill eliminates language about abortion counseling, referrals, and promotions from sections governing public funds, school tuition, and school-based health clinics. While the bill maintains some restrictions on abortion, such as limiting public funding and prohibiting abortion services in school-based settings, it removes several previously existing provisions that more strictly regulated abortion access. The changes include removing language about counseling in favor of abortion, referrals for abortion, and related activities across multiple sections of Idaho Code. The bill is set to go into effect on July 1, 2025, and contains an emergency clause, indicating the legislature considers these changes urgent. The modifications appear to slightly loosen some existing abortion-related restrictions while maintaining core prohibitions on using public funds and resources for abortion services.
