SB 300

This bill prohibits any person employed by the state, a state agency, or a local

governmental unit from providing abortion services, promoting or encouraging

abortion services, making abortion referrals, or training others or receiving training

in performing abortions while acting within the scope of his or her employment.

Further, this bill prohibits the use of public property to provide abortion services,

promote or encourage abortion services, make abortion referrals, or train individuals

in performing abortions. However, it is not a violation of the prohibitions established

in the bill for a physician to perform a medical intervention designed or intended to

prevent the death of a pregnant woman if the physician makes all reasonable

medical efforts under the circumstances to preserve both the life of the woman and

the life of the unborn child in a manner consistent with conventional medical

practice. Under the bill, “public property” is defined to mean a public facility, public

institution, or other building or part of a building that is owned, leased, or controlled

by the state, a state agency, or a local governmental unit, or any equipment or other

physical asset that is owned, leased, or controlled by the state, a state agency, or a

local governmental unit.
