SB 733 Abortion; expands who can perform in first trimester, informed consent required.
Introduced by: Jennifer L. McClellan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Provision of abortion. Expands who can perform first trimester abortions to include any person jointly licensed by the Board of Medicine and Nursing as a nurse practitioner acting within such person's scope of practice. The bill eliminates all of the procedures and processes, including the performance of an ultrasound, required to effect a pregnant woman's informed written consent to the performance of an abortion; however, the bill does not change the requirement that a pregnant woman's informed written consent first be obtained. The bill removes language classifying facilities that perform five or more first trimester abortions per month as hospitals for the purpose of complying with regulations establishing minimum standards for hospitals. This bill incorporates SB 21 and SB 68 and is identical to HB 980.
