This bill prohibits chemical abortions from being provided without a healthcare provider physically present with the patient and physically examining them beforehand. The legislation also requires that providers supply patients with medical waste disposal kits and containers, with instructions to return them for proper disposal. Violations carry criminal penalties of up to five years in prison and fines up to $50,000 per occurrence. The bill applies to chemical abortion drugs including mifepristone and misoprostol, but contains exceptions for procedures intended to save a woman's life, address miscarriage, or treat ectopic pregnancy. The legislation was introduced in March 2026 with bipartisan sponsorship and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
