MI HB5614

Department of Health must prepare and distribute medically and factually accurate written information about emergency contraception to health facilities and agencies providing emergency or urgent care within 30 days of the bill's effective date.

Health facilities and agencies providing emergency or urgent care must promptly provide written information about emergency contraception to female victims of criminal sexual conduct of childbearing age and promptly offer emergency contraception to those patients.

If a female victim of criminal sexual conduct of childbearing age requests emergency contraception, the health facility or agency must administer it to that patient.

Health facilities administering emergency contraception must annually report to the department the number of times it was administered to victims of criminal sexual conduct, with reports kept confidential and exempt from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.

Emergency contraception is defined as FDA-approved drugs, medicines, oral hormonal compounds, or devices that prevent pregnancy after sexual intercourse, but excludes medications prescribed to terminate an existing pregnancy.
