Hospitals - Emergency Pregnancy-Related Medical Conditions - Procedures

Summary

The law obligates any hospital with an emergency department to check whether a patient has an emergency pregnancy‑related condition, to stabilize the patient—including performing a termination when medically required—or to transfer them safely. It protects providers who follow these rules from retaliation and imposes civil fines on hospitals that violate the provisions. The measure also clarifies that hospitals cannot be forced to offer or refer for artificial insemination, sterilization, or abortion procedures.
