What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill directs the Department of Justice to create programs to address

harassment, threats, and violence towards patients, prospective patients, and

reproductive health care providers. Under the bill, DOJ must develop training

programs for law enforcement officers and prosecuting attorneys to address

anti-reproductive health care behaviors and a program to foster community

collaboration in the prevention of and response to illegal anti-reproductive health

care activities, and create a resource center to collect data and disseminate

information on illegal anti-reproductive health care activities. The bill also creates

a grant program under which DOJ may award grants to counties that need support

in addressing illegal anti-reproductive health care activities.
