AN ACT Amending section 36-2160, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to abortion.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding abortion-inducing drugs by establishing criminal penalties for violations of provisions that prohibit the delivery of these drugs via courier, delivery, or mail service. Specifically, it makes it a class 5 felony for anyone to knowingly sell, furnish, mail, ship, or deliver an abortion-inducing drug through these prohibited methods, and a class 4 felony for licensed healthcare providers, pharmacists, manufacturers, suppliers, or carriers who violate this rule while acting within their employment. The bill also classifies knowingly ordering, soliciting, requesting, or receiving an abortion-inducing drug through prohibited delivery methods as a class 1 misdemeanor. Importantly, it clarifies that motor carriers, freight forwarders, air carriers, and third-party logistics providers are exempt from civil action under this section, even if they are involved in the prohibited delivery. An "abortion-inducing drug" is defined as any medicine, drug, or substance used for a medication abortion.
