Bill Summary
Relative to voluntary consent for abortion services. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the voluntary consent of individuals seeking abortion services. It requires healthcare facilities that perform abortions to conspicuously post a notice stating that it is against the law to force someone to have an abortion, and that the facility must obtain the patient's freely given and voluntary consent before performing the procedure. The attending physician is also required to inform the patient of this information verbally and in private. The bill imposes fines for facilities that fail to post the required notice, and allows individuals injured by the lack of notice or verbal communication to file civil lawsuits to recover damages.
