REVISED
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28796 / S1183
This legislation prohibits abortion procedures when a fetal heartbeat can be detected, with the exceptions
included for rape, incest, and life of the mother. A detectable heartbeat is a key indicator, in law and medical
practice alike, of the existence of life. This legislation becomes effective upon the issuance of any decision
upholding a restriction or ban on abortion of a preborn child with a heartbeat by any United States appellate
court.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the State or general fund because it requires no expenditure of State
funds.
