For legislation to update public health laws. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes updates to public health laws by amending existing statutes and repealing others. Specifically, it modifies Section 12Q of Chapter 112 of the General Laws to clarify that abortions performed under Sections 12L or 12M require the written consent of the proper person, as outlined in Section 12S, unless it's an emergency. Additionally, the bill repeals Sections 19, 20, and 21 of Chapter 272 of the General Laws, which likely pertain to older public health regulations. Finally, it amends Section 21A of Chapter 272 by removing the word "married" from specific lines, suggesting a move towards gender-neutral language or broader application of that section.
