This bill seeks to strengthen protections for reproductive health care in Minnesota by limiting the release of health records and restricting actions by health-related licensing boards. It defines "reproductive health care services" to encompass a range of medical, surgical, counseling, or referral services related to the human reproductive system, including pregnancy and contraception. The legislation prohibits licensing boards from denying licenses or taking disciplinary actions against health care providers solely based on their involvement in lawful reproductive health care services. Furthermore, it restricts the enforcement of out-of-state laws and judgments that could penalize individuals for actions related to reproductive health care services provided in Minnesota.

Key provisions of the bill include establishing a cause of action for individuals facing penalties due to out-of-state judgments related to reproductive health care and prohibiting extradition for individuals charged in other states for acts related to reproductive health services received in Minnesota. The bill also amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 629.14, to prevent the arrest of individuals charged in other states for actions concerning reproductive health services. The new provisions will take effect the day following final enactment, ensuring prompt implementation of these protections for reproductive health rights in Minnesota.
