AI Summary

  • Requires physicians or their staff to provide a written disclosure statement to pregnant women when administering or dispensing mifepristone (the first pill in a medication abortion)

  • The disclosure must inform women that mifepristone is not always effective and that they should consult a physician immediately if they regret their decision, as medication may be available to "restore progesterone and potentially strengthen the pregnancy"

  • Disclosure can be provided by stapling it to the misoprostol package, attaching it to the prescription, or including it with discharge instructions

  • Exempts cases of spontaneous miscarriage from the disclosure requirement and does not require pharmacies to provide the statement

  • Takes effect upon Governor's approval and includes a severability clause protecting remaining provisions if any part is found unconstitutional
