Bill > HB1285

This bill amends Pennsylvania state law to prohibit government entities, law enforcement agencies, peace officers, and local authorities from providing information or using resources to support out-of-state investigations seeking to impose civil or criminal liability for abortion-related activities that are legal in Pennsylvania. Specifically, the bill prevents these entities from assisting investigations that would target individuals or organizations involved in providing, seeking, receiving, or inquiring about legal abortion services within the state. The law applies broadly to various law enforcement entities, including state police, capitol police, airport police, county park police, sheriff's offices, campus police, and other law enforcement agencies. There is an exception to this prohibition if the out-of-state investigation would itself be a violation of Pennsylvania law. The bill aims to protect abortion access and shield individuals and organizations involved in legal abortion services from potential legal actions from states with more restrictive abortion laws. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
