The proposed bill, titled the "Access to Health Facilities Act," aims to prohibit certain disruptive behaviors at or near health facilities, particularly those providing reproductive health services. It defines key terms such as "health facility," "interfere with," "intimidate," and "physical obstruction," and establishes penalties for individuals who use force, threats, or obstruction to intimidate or harm others in relation to accessing these services. The bill outlines various degrees of offenses, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, depending on the severity of the actions and any prior convictions. Notably, it exempts parents or legal guardians from penalties when their actions are directed solely at their minor children.

Additionally, the bill allows individuals or entities harmed by violations to pursue civil actions for damages and provides for civil fines to be imposed by the Attorney General or local attorneys for specific violations. It clarifies that the act does not infringe upon expressive conduct protected by the state and federal constitutions, nor does it preempt local ordinances that may impose additional penalties or remedies related to the prohibited conduct. The act is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted into law.
