SB72 requires physicians to use a specific state-approved form when obtaining a patient's consent before performing an abortion. The bill establishes what information and acknowledgments must be included on this form to ensure informed consent. This creates a new standardized procedure that all South Dakota doctors must follow when performing abortions.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
