What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits the Department of Health Services from certifying, and

requires DHS to decertify, as a provider for Medical Assistance a person that provides

abortion services or is an affiliate of a person that provides abortion services and that

is a nonprofit private entity that has received at any time or has applied for a grant

or contract for a family planning project under federal law. Generally, under current

law, DHS establishes criteria for certifying providers to provide services under the

Medical Assistance program and certifies those providers. The Medical Assistance

program is a joint federal and state program administered by DHS that provides

health services to individuals who have limited financial resources.
