Summary

The bill orders the Georgia Department of Public Health to publish yearly statistical reports on every induced termination of pregnancy performed in the state, using data that clinics and physicians already must report. The reports must break down numbers by year, county, age, race and ethnicity back to 1994, but cannot reveal any individual's identity. It is intended to give the public more transparency while still complying with HIPAA privacy rules.
