What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits the Department of Health Services from certifying as a provider for Medical Assistance a person that provides abortion services or is an affiliate of a person that provides abortion services and also is either 1) 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 or 2) an affiliate of a nonprofit private entity whose affiliates have received federal grants or contracts for family planning projects. The bill also requires DHS to decertify from the Medical Assistance program those providers that meet the same criteria. Generally, under current law, DHS establishes criteria for certifying providers to provide services under and receive reimbursement from the Medical Assistance program and then 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.
