Summary

The measure lets doctors, nurses, clinics and other health workers refuse to provide or fund services that clash with their moral or religious beliefs, and bars retaliation for doing so. It also protects providers who speak out or report suspected violations from discrimination, and limits state agencies from sanctioning them unless clear patient harm is proven. The law applies to individual providers, health entities, insurers and related organizations.
