Direction

Abortion bans gestational limitsAI label

Restricts abortion access model confidence 90%

Imposes a parental-notification requirement (with judicial bypass) before an abortion on an unemancipated minor, so less legal access to abortion for that group of patients.

No person shall perform an abortion upon an unemancipated minor unless such minor's agent has given at least forty-eight hours written notice to a custodial parent with whom the minor resides or to the legal guardian of the pregnant minor of such person's intention to perform the abortion

Abortion exceptionsAI label

Expands abortion access model confidence 80%

Creates a medical-emergency exception to the parental-notification requirement and allows judicial waiver when the minor is mature or the abortion is in her best interest, so carves out limited pathways for access despite the new restriction.

No notice shall be required under this section if: (a) the attending physician certifies in the pregnant minor's medical record that a medical emergency exists; or ... (c) the minor objects to notice being given ... and obtains an order ... dispensing with such notice.

Abortion provider clinic regulationAI label

Restricts abortion access model confidence 85%

Imposes new procedural requirements, record-keeping, penalties, and civil liability on providers performing abortions on unemancipated minors, so more regulation of abortion providers.

Any person who intentionally performs an abortion with knowledge that, or with reckless disregard as to whether, the person upon whom the abortion is to be performed is an unemancipated minor, and who intentionally or knowingly violates the requirements of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. In addition, any person who performs an abortion upon another in violation of this section shall be subject to civil liability.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a parental-notification mandate (48-hour written notice or judicial bypass) before abortions on minors under 18, with medical-emergency and coercion protections; this is a classic abortion restriction on access for unemancipated minors plus added provider obligations and penalties. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or immigration enforcement.
