This bill introduces new regulations regarding abortion referrals by medical facilities that receive state funding. Specifically, it prohibits these facilities from referring patients for abortions unless the patient is experiencing a medical emergency or is provided a referral to a pregnancy resource center. The bill also mandates that any organization receiving state funding must submit an affidavit confirming compliance with these referral restrictions. Additionally, it establishes that any contracts made in violation of these provisions will be voided, and allows taxpayers and certain family members to sue medical facilities or the state for violations.

The bill includes several definitions related to abortion and medical facilities, and it outlines the penalties for non-compliance, including the potential for punitive damages if a public entity is found to have willfully disregarded the law. The effective date for these provisions is set for January 1, 2027. Overall, the bill aims to restrict abortion referrals in publicly funded medical facilities while providing legal avenues for accountability and enforcement.
