SUMMARY

This bill requires physicians who perform abortions or treat patients in connection with abortions to report annually to the Department of Health and Human Services on forms developed by the department. It also requires physicians who encounter an illness or injury that is related to an induced abortion to complete and submit an induced abortion complication report form to the department. It requires the department to issue annually a public report that provides information compiled from the forms filed with the department. The public report may not contain information that could reasonably lead to the identification of any physician who performed an abortion or any woman who has had an abortion.
