This bill introduces criminal penalties for the transportation of an unemancipated minor without parental consent for the purpose of obtaining a surgical procedure or terminating the minor's pregnancy. A new section, RSA 633:4-a, is added to the Criminal Code, establishing that a person who intentionally transports an unemancipated minor for these purposes without the express written consent of the minor's parent or guardian is guilty of a class A misdemeanor. If the individual has prior convictions for similar offenses, the charge escalates to a class B felony. The bill defines an unemancipated minor as any child under 18 who is not married or has not been legally freed from parental control.

The bill also outlines specific exemptions where the law does not apply, including parents or legal guardians of the minor, individuals with written consent from the minor's parent or guardian, common carriers, ambulance drivers, and emergency medical personnel acting in the course of their duties. Notably, it states that the minor's consent is not a valid defense against prosecution under this section. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, and while it is expected to have indeterminable impacts on state and local expenditures, it does not project any revenue generation.
