The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 145.423, subdivision 1, to enhance the legal protections for infants born alive as a result of an abortion. The new language specifies that a born alive infant is to be recognized under the law, and it mandates that all reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice must be taken by medical personnel to preserve the life and health of the infant. This includes the compilation of appropriate medical records.

Additionally, the bill includes an effective date clause 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 born alive during abortion procedures, ensuring that their rights and health are prioritized.
