This bill mandates the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to produce an informational video by September 1, 2025, that outlines the state's abortion laws and the services available for pregnant women facing life-threatening or health-threatening medical conditions. The video will cover key topics, including what constitutes an abortion, common medical conditions that may endanger a pregnant woman's life or health, accepted standards of care for such conditions, and the criteria that medical practitioners might use to determine the best treatment options for both the mother and unborn child.
Additionally, the department is required to consult with the attorney general and medical and legal experts while creating the video and related materials. Once completed, these resources will be made accessible on the department's website, ensuring that the public has access to important information regarding abortion laws and healthcare options in Kansas. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
