This bill creates new protections that allow health care providers and institutions to refuse participation in medical services based on their ethical, moral, religious, or philosophical beliefs. It prohibits discrimination against providers who decline to participate in certain health care services for conscience-based reasons, and it shields them from adverse employment or administrative actions based on such refusals.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
