This bill creates new state law restricting how public funds can be used related to abortion services. It defines "elective abortion" (excluding cases involving threats to the mother's life, fetal health problems, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or pregnancies from rape or incest) and "abortion referral," and sets up rules to prevent state money from going to organizations that perform or refer women for elective abortions. The bill appears to be the first section of a larger law that would establish these restrictions in detail.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
