Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to require that information about the process of chemical abortion be provided to a woman prior to prescribing pharmaceuticals for, or administering, a chemical abortion except in certain emergency circumstances.
This bill specifies that the woman be informed of the possibility of reversal of a chemical abortion if undertaken within a critical period of time; obtain the woman's certification, in writing, that information was provided to her; dictate minimum standards for printed material and website information; and require documentation of the procedures.
This legislation would require revisions to the Department's Office of Maternal, Child and Family Health (OMCFH) current printed materials and website as required by §16-2I-3 and §16-2I-4 to include informing of the possibility of reversing the effects of a chemical abortion utilizing Mifepristone should a woman change her mind as well as to provide information on and assistance with resources that may be available to help reverse the effects of a chemical abortion.
It is projected that it will take at least 90 days after passage of this bill to implement requirements stipulated in the legislation. Department does not anticipate any FY2021 expenses and estimates one-time FY2022 costs to be $36,500.
