Senate Bill 589 establishes a statutory right for individuals to obtain contraceptives and engage in contraception, while also granting health care providers the right to provide contraceptives and related information. The bill prohibits any limitations or requirements that would single out or impede access to contraceptives, contraception, or related information. To defend against claims of violations of these rights, parties must demonstrate that any limitations significantly advance safety and that no less restrictive alternatives exist. Additionally, the bill ensures that neither the state nor any political subdivision can enforce laws that restrict the sale or provision of FDA-approved contraceptives or hinder individuals from assisting others in obtaining them.

The bill also allows for civil actions to be brought by the attorney general or affected individuals against those who violate its provisions. It emphasizes that the right to contraception is fundamental and protected under both state and federal law, citing various Supreme Court cases that affirm this right. The legislation aims to enhance access to contraceptive services, particularly for marginalized groups who may face additional barriers to reproductive health care. Overall, the bill seeks to safeguard and promote the right to contraception as essential to personal health and well-being.
