HB 64 - Abortion Complication Reporting

• Expands the definition of "complication" in Idaho Code Section 39-9503 to include 30+ conditions ranging from physical injuries to psychological conditions like depression and suicidal ideation, as well as any adverse event defined by federal FDA criteria.

• Requires hospitals, health care facilities, and medical practitioners to report to the state department of health and welfare within 90 days any treatment for complications listed in the law that are believed to result from an abortion.

• Mandates reporting include patient demographics, abortion details, specific complications, follow-up care information, and referrals to hospitals or emergency departments, while prohibiting inclusion of identifying information such as names or social security numbers.

• Requires the department to prepare annual statistical reports for the legislature and submit aggregate data to federal centers for disease control; aggregate data must be made available to the public in downloadable format.

• Establishes confidentiality protections for reports, limiting disclosure to law enforcement with valid court orders and prohibiting state agencies from comparing abortion data across information systems to identify women.

• Declares an emergency, making the act effective upon passage and approval.
