Bill > HB2489

This bill requires organizations providing pregnancy-related services to deliver medically accurate and unbiased information in order to qualify for state funding. The bill defines "medically accurate and unbiased information" as details that are scientifically verified, recognized as correct by leading medical organizations (such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and National Institutes of Health), or recommended by nationally recognized accrediting organizations. "Pregnancy-related services" is broadly defined to include family planning, abortion care, prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. To receive state funding, these organizations must provide comprehensive, objective information about reproductive health options, covering topics like birth control, pregnancy, adoption, labor, delivery, and postpartum care. The bill aims to ensure that organizations receiving state funds provide patients with reliable, evidence-based information to support informed decision-making about reproductive health.
