Summary

The bill adds definitions for abortion‑related care, providers and provider facilities, and mandates that a patient sign a state‑prescribed consent form before an abortion, with no waiting period but strict confidentiality. It also revises the minor‑consent language so youths can consent to their own medical care, including abortion, without parental approval. The measure did not pass.
