HB 1169 is an act to authorize the performance and reporting of medical procedures to avert the death or physical impairment of a pregnant female and to declare an emergency. This bill was tabled in House Health and Human Services. Representative Rehfeldt, Senator Davis, and I worked with Right to Life on this bill to clarify what life and health of the mother meant. Doctors taking care of women during pregnancy need to understand how they can legally take care of pregnant women and their baby, when things take a turn for the worse. This was language that has been law for 30 years, before the trigger law.

This will be back next session because it is a pro-life bill.
