The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding a new section, 2835, which mandates that health care professionals performing abortions report specific information to the state department within seven days of the procedure. The required report must include details such as the individual's age, marital status, race, residency, facility information, gestation period, method of abortion, and reasons for obtaining the abortion, among other data. Importantly, the report must not include any identifying information about the individual, such as their name or Social Security number, to ensure confidentiality.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the department must destroy individual reports after retaining them for five years and can only release aggregate statistical data for medical and health purposes. Violations of confidentiality provisions are classified as felonies, punishable by imprisonment or fines. The bill also specifies that the department may share reports with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs for regulatory purposes, but such disclosures must also maintain the confidentiality of the individuals involved. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
