AN ACT relating to fetal homicide.

Summary

The bill amends Kentucky’s fetal homicide statute to define an unborn child as any human from conception onward. It makes causing the death of an unborn child a crime, but carves out exceptions for lawful abortions, medical testing or fertility treatments performed with appropriate care, and for actions taken by the pregnant woman herself. The changes aim to clarify when fetal homicide charges can be applied.
