Substance-impacted perinatal women; granting certain immunity from prosecution; authorizing certain action by district attorney. Effective date.

Summary

The bill shields women who use prescribed controlled substances or who are trying to enter a qualified addiction program from arrest or prosecution related to their pregnancy. It also protects health‑care providers from civil liability when they follow the new reporting and referral rules. District attorneys may still act if a woman refuses to seek treatment.
