Coercion of a pregnant minor female into seeking or obtaining an abortion prohibition, human trafficking of minors screening and reporting provision, certain information displayed requirement provision, and wrongful death resulting from an abortion additional action provision
Introduction and first reading; Referred to
Summary
The bill would require any abortion provider who sees a pregnant girl under 18 to determine whether she is being forced to have an abortion, report suspected coercion or trafficking, and give her safety resources. It also creates fines for facilities that skip the screening, makes certain coercive drug use a felony, and allows families to sue for wrongful death of the unborn child. Staff at larger abortion clinics would have to complete human‑trafficking identification training, and the health commissioner must issue implementing rules by Dec. 1, 2027.
