Bill Summary
Relative to voluntary consent for abortion services. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure the voluntary consent of pregnant individuals for abortion services. It requires healthcare facilities that perform abortions to conspicuously post a notice informing patients that it is against the law to force them to have an abortion, and that they have the right to contact law enforcement if they experience any threats or violence. The attending physician must also verbally inform the patient of this information in private. The bill imposes fines on facilities that fail to post the required notice and allows individuals injured by non-compliance to bring civil actions to recover damages.
