AI Summary

  • Expands the prohibition on state and local government contracts and grants to include entities that perform any abortions, not just "nonfederally qualified" abortions as under current law.

  • Prohibits public funding to facilities that maintain or operate locations where abortions are performed, removing the previous limitation that applied only to family planning services.

  • Adds a new restriction barring public contracts with entities that provide referrals for or facilitate access to abortion services through publicly funded family planning programs.

  • Removes the definition of "nonfederally qualified abortion" from the statute, effectively eliminating the distinction between federally qualified and non-federally qualified abortion procedures for funding purposes.

  • Maintains existing enforcement mechanisms allowing the attorney general, county attorneys, or affected eligible entities to bring legal action, with recovery of attorney fees and costs for prevailing plaintiffs.
