Bill > SB5336

This bill prohibits the use of state or local public funds to pay for or reimburse any person, agency, organization, or facility for performing an induced abortion, with specific exceptions. These exceptions include abortions necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or her unborn child, abortions required due to a medical emergency where delaying the procedure would cause serious risk of irreversible impairment of a major bodily function, abortions resulting from sexual assault that has been reported to law enforcement within seven days, and situations where federal law mandates coverage. The bill also amends existing laws to ensure that these restrictions do not interfere with a woman's fundamental right to choose or refuse an abortion, except as outlined in the new provisions, and removes a repealed section related to state-provided benefits.
