The proposed bill, titled the "Access to Health Facilities Act," aims to prohibit specific conduct near health facilities, particularly those providing reproductive health services, and establishes penalties for violations. It defines key terms such as "health facility," "interfere with," "intimidate," and "physical obstruction," and outlines various offenses related to the intimidation or obstruction of individuals seeking or providing reproductive health services. The bill stipulates that individuals who engage in such conduct may face misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the severity of the offense, with penalties including imprisonment and fines. Notably, parents or legal guardians are exempt 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 the Attorney General or local attorneys to seek civil fines against violators. It clarifies that the act does not infringe upon expressive conduct protected by the state and federal constitutions, nor does it preempt local ordinances related to the conduct it addresses. The act is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted into law.
