Bill > SF2954

This bill amends Minnesota's MinnesotaCare program to restrict the use of public funds for abortion coverage. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to prohibit public funds from being used to cover abortions, with very limited exceptions. Those exceptions allow public funding only when the pregnancy threatens the life of the female, would cause substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function if carried to term, or is the result of rape or incest. The bill maintains the existing definition of covered health services and the definition of a "child" as an individual under 19 years old. By adding these restrictions, the legislation aims to limit state-funded health insurance from paying for abortions except in the most extreme circumstances, effectively reducing public financial support for abortion services under the MinnesotaCare program.
