HOUSE BILL 242
Law
Abortion, pregnant minors
ABORTION – Amends and adds to existing law to provide for the crime of abortion trafficking, to provide certain requirements for and restrictions on a civil action, and to provide prosecution authority for the attorney general.
RS30476 / H0242
This legislation adds a section in the chapter of the Idaho Code relating to abortion. The legislation adds definitions related to the illegal trafficking of minors to procure a criminal abortion and amends the section of Idaho code dealing with criminal abortion by prohibiting anyone from trafficking a minor for a criminal abortion with the intent of concealing the crime from the minor’s parents. This legislation authorizes the state Attorney General to prosecute at their discretion for a crime committed under the section governing criminal abortions. The legislation provides for civil remedies.
There should be no impact to the general fund. Should the State Attorney General’s office pursue prosecutions, they are currently funded.
