A bill to prohibit certain state and local governmental entities from requiring pregnancy resource centers to offer abortion services or provide a referral for abortion services; and to provide for the powers and duties of certain state and local governmental officers and entities.
The bill defines pregnancy resource centers as private nonprofit organizations that promote childbirth and alternatives to abortion, providing referrals and information related to pregnancy. It ensures these centers cannot be required by the state or local governments to perform or refer for abortion services, nor can they be prohibited from offering pregnancy care, counseling, or postpartum services due to their stance on abortion.
