The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 145.423, subdivision 1, to enhance the legal recognition and protection of infants born alive as a result of an abortion. The revised language specifies that medical personnel must take all reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice to preserve the life and health of the born alive infant. This includes the compilation of appropriate medical records, ensuring that the care provided aligns with established medical standards.

Additionally, the bill introduces an effective date, stating that the changes will take effect the day following final enactment. The amendments aim to clarify the responsibilities of medical personnel in the care of infants who survive an abortion, reinforcing the legal protections afforded to these individuals.
