relative to certain prohibitions on abortion referrals by publicly funded medical facilities.

Summary

The proposal would forbid any medical facility that receives state contracts, grants, or other public money from sending patients to abortion providers unless the patient is in a medical emergency or is also referred to a pregnancy‑resource center. It would also give taxpayers and a patient’s family the right to sue the facility or the state for violations and require facilities to sign sworn statements promising compliance. The measure did not pass and was declared “inexpedient to legislate.”
