Bill > SB1396

This bill, titled the "Arizona Right to Contraception Act," establishes a right for individuals to obtain contraceptives and engage in contraception, and for health professionals to provide them, defining "contraception" broadly to include methods to prevent pregnancy, contraceptives themselves as legally marketed drugs or devices, and "health professional" as a licensed provider with prescribing authority. The act prohibits any limitations or requirements that specifically target the provision of contraceptives or related information, health professionals who provide them, or facilities where they are offered, and also forbids measures that impede access to these services. Importantly, this article does not authorize state interference with a health professional's ability to provide contraceptives or a patient's ability to obtain them, nor does it permit sterilization procedures without voluntary and informed consent.
