Bill > HB2160

This bill adds mifepristone to Schedule IV of controlled substances and establishes a new criminal offense called "coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud." Specifically, the bill adds mifepristone to the list of controlled substances in Schedule IV, which includes drugs with a low potential for abuse and accepted medical use in the United States. 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 specifies that this offense can be prosecuted alongside other potential criminal charges, 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 criminalize non-consensual and fraudulent attempts to terminate a pregnancy, with significant legal consequences for such actions.
