Truly Agreed to and Finally Passed

HB 400 - This act requires that when RU-486 or any drug or chemical is used for the purpose of inducing an abortion, the initial dose of the drug or chemical shall be administered in the same room and in the physical presence of the physician who prescribed, dispensed, or otherwise provided the drug or chemical to the patient.

The physician inducing the abortion, or a person acting on such physician's behalf, shall make all reasonable efforts to have the patient return without a time line, unless such termination of the pregnancy has already been confirmed and the patient's medical condition has been assessed by a licensed physician prior to discharge.

This act is similar to SB 175 (2013).
