2015 Senate Bill 27

Revise abortion complication reporting law

Introduced in the Senate

Jan. 22, 2015

Introduced by Sen. Rick Jones (R-24)

To require the Department of Community Health to create a form that can be used by an individual who has actual knowledge of a woman who has sought treatment for a physical complication that is a result of an abortion, and which was not reported to the state by the abortion provider as required. The bill establishes procedures to record the information in a manner that would not reveal to an outsider the identity of the woman who is the subject of the report, and transmit it to any physician and health facility named in the form in a manner that does not reveal the identity of the individual who provided the information.

Referred to the Committee on Health Policy
