This bill establishes the rights of health care providers in New Hampshire to conscientiously object to participating in abortions based on their religious, moral, or ethical convictions. It introduces a new chapter, RSA 126-EE, which defines key terms such as "abortion," "conscientiously object," and "health care provider." The bill stipulates that health care providers have the right to refuse involvement in abortion services without facing administrative, civil, or criminal liability. It also prohibits discrimination against providers who exercise this right, with specific exceptions for those employed by institutions where abortion is a primary service or in emergency situations.

Additionally, the bill mandates that health care institutions must prominently display a notice informing providers of their rights and ensure that all staff are aware of these rights. Civil remedies are established for violations, allowing affected providers to seek damages, including a minimum of $10,000 for each violation, and the possibility of injunctive relief. Institutions failing to comply with the notice requirement may face fines ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 per occurrence. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
