SB 1602: Unborn Viability Act

• Prohibits termination of pregnancy after fetus is determined viable, with exceptions only when two physicians certify termination is necessary to prevent death or serious impairment of major bodily function, or in medical emergencies.

• Requires ultrasound and viability determination for patients at 20 weeks of pregnancy or later before any termination; ultrasound and viability determination cannot be performed by physicians providing services at abortion clinics due to conflict of interest.

• Requires terminations of viable pregnancies to be performed in hospitals or medical establishments capable of providing lifesaving services; mandates standard of care to preserve fetus life and health, with patient's life and health as superior considerations when in conflict.

• Establishes informed consent requirements including physician discussion of procedure risks, gestational age, medical risks, and psychological impacts; requires provision of adoption information and contact details for Office of Adoption and Child Protection statewide attorney list.

• Creates criminal penalties including first-degree felony for terminating viable pregnancy in violation of prohibitions, second-degree felony for violations of other requirements, and life felony if procedure results in death; repeals prior abortion-related statutes and amends health insurance coverage restrictions.
