Bill > HB0232

This bill amends existing Utah law to establish new criteria for medical providers to be eligible for Medicaid, a government health insurance program for low-income individuals. Specifically, it mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) shall develop standards for Medicaid eligibility, and under these standards, a provider or its affiliate cannot be eligible if they perform an "elective abortion" (defined as any abortion not necessary to save the mother's life, prevent serious physical harm, or in cases of a dead fetus, ectopic pregnancy, uniformly lethal fetal defect, rape, or incest) and have annual revenues of $500 million or more, though this restriction does not apply to hospitals. The bill also clarifies the definition of "elective abortion" and sets an effective date of May 6, 2026.
