AI Summary
This bill defines "pregnancy center" as a private nonprofit organization that supports childbirth and alternatives to abortion by offering resources, counseling, and information on pregnancy, childbirth, adoption, and parenting, and "medical pregnancy center" as one that also provides medical testing, counseling, or care related to pregnancy. The bill prohibits government agencies from forcing these centers to offer or perform abortions, provide or refer for abortion-inducing drugs or contraception, or promote abortion. It also prevents agencies from stopping pregnancy centers from offering services like pre- and post-natal resources, medical care, or counseling on pregnancy-related treatments, including those that might reverse abortion-inducing drugs, and from interfering with their staffing decisions based on their pro-life mission. Violators of this act can face civil action with potential damages tripled, a minimum of $10,000, plus costs and attorney fees. The bill also includes provisions for severability, meaning if one part is found invalid, the rest remains in effect, and allows the Legislature to intervene in legal challenges to its constitutionality.
