This bill directs the Attorney General to investigate and enforce violations of the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, which prohibits a specific abortion procedure. It specifically requires an investigation into the remains of five babies discovered by DC police in March 2022 to determine if the ban was violated, with a report due to Congress within six months. The bill also creates new obligations for health care workers to report suspected violations to law enforcement and requires the Attorney General to submit annual reports to Congress detailing enforcement efforts, alleged violations, and prosecutions. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office must review all enforcement actions related to the ban from 2004 through 2024 and submit recommendations for strengthening enforcement within 18 months of the bill's enactment. No specific funding is allocated in the legislation.
