SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Regulation and licensure of abortion clinics. Requires abortion clinics, defined as any facility other than a hospital, in which first trimester abortions are performed, to be licensed and to comply with specific requirements that the Board of Health must include in its regulations. The Board's regulations must include standards for the facilities, supplies and equipment, personnel, medical screening and evaluation, medical procedures, recovery rooms, follow-up visits, and incident reporting. The Board must also promulgate regulations to protect the privacy of patients and provide for disclosure of protected health information in compliance with state and federal laws and regulations. The regulations will not limit the ability of a physician or other health professional to advise a patient on any health issue. This provision is modeled after Arizona law.
