Stage: Committee · step 2 of 6
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill strengthens enforcement of the federal partial-birth abortion ban (a gestational/procedural limit on a specific abortion method) through mandatory Attorney General investigations, required reporting by providers, annual DOJ reporting on violations and enforcement, and a GAO review of past enforcement. All provisions increase restrictions on this form of abortion access and provider obligations; no provisions expand access or reduce restrictions.
