Sub. H.B. 287

126th General Assembly

(S. Health, Human Services and Aging)

 

 

Medical claims for abortions not performed

Adds provisions to the House-passed version of the bill specifying that no person has a civil action or may receive an award of damages in a civil action, and that no other person is liable in a civil action, upon a medical claim that because of an act or omission by the other person either (1) the person was not aborted or (2) a child was not aborted.

Specifies that the provisions regarding medical claims for abortions not performed do not preclude a person from bringing a civil action or receiving an award of damages in a medical claim based upon an intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission of information related to medical diagnosis, care, or treatment.
