Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

State publishes annual live-birth data

The department adopts and distributes a standard reporting form to facilities. It may set rules to run the reporting program. By June 30 each year, it publishes the total number of abortions that resulted in a live birth for the prior year. It also updates past years to add late or corrected reports. The public report protects privacy so no person can be identified.

Annual reports and fines for medical facilities

Medical facilities where an infant is born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion must file a yearly report. The report is due by February 28 for the prior calendar year, even if the number is zero. Reports must include gestational age in nine set ranges; steps taken to preserve life; whether the infant survived or died and, if known, where death occurred; and medical conditions before and after the attempt. The department can fine up to $500 if a report is 30 days late, plus up to $500 more for each extra 30 days. If a report is still missing after one year, or an incomplete report is not fixed in that time, a court can order the facility to comply.
