↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Removes 'voluntary' terminations from the exemption, so the Maternal Mortality Review Committee must now study and review cases, trends, and records of voluntary (elective) abortions, increasing state collection and scrutiny of abortion-related maternal health data.
This chapter does not apply to disclosure of records pertaining to [deleted: voluntary or] therapeutic termination of pregnancy, and those records may not be collected, maintained, or disclosed under this chapter.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill removes the prior exemption for voluntary terminations of pregnancy from the maternal mortality review chapter, requiring the committee to study and review abortion-related deaths and morbidity while allowing collection and disclosure of those records; this increases state oversight and data collection on abortions, which restricts abortion access under the topic axis.
