HB1051 requires physicians to use the same medical means and skills to preserve the life of any child born alive during an abortion procedure as they would for any other newborn, and mandates immediate hospital admission for such infants. The bill also establishes that a physician performing an abortion that results in a live birth has a legal responsibility to that child and creates new civil and disciplinary consequences for failure to comply with these requirements.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
