The bill amends section 390.0111 of the Florida Statutes, establishing new regulations regarding the termination of pregnancies. It prohibits physicians from knowingly performing or inducing a termination of pregnancy if they determine that the fetus is sustainable outside the womb through standard medical measures. The bill revises existing exceptions to this prohibition, which now include circumstances where two physicians certify that the termination is necessary to save the pregnant woman's life or prevent serious physical impairment, or when there is a medical necessity for emergency procedures.

Additionally, the bill removes previous stipulations regarding gestational age and the conditions under which a termination could occur, such as the requirement for documentation in cases of rape, incest, or human trafficking. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
