AI Summary
This bill seeks to redefine the term "clinic" in Massachusetts law. It specifies that any entity that performs more than 10 abortions per year, regardless of its organizational structure or profit status, will be considered a "clinic" and subject to relevant regulations. The bill excludes hospitals, clinics operated by the federal government or Commonwealth, and solo/group medical practices that perform fewer than 10 abortions annually from this definition. The purpose is to advance the safety of women seeking to terminate a pregnancy by bringing more facilities under the legal definition of a "clinic."
