SB 594 - This act prohibits the state from entering into a contract with or issuing or awarding grants, tax credits, bonding authority, training resources, or access to government programs or other financial benefits to a company or political subdivision that currently provides, or has provided within the previous year, any assistance for its employees or to another entity on behalf of the company's employee for the purposes of having an abortion, unless otherwise required by federal law. A company or political subdivision that enters into a contract with or is issued or awarded a grant, a tax credit, bonding authority, training resources, or access to government programs or other financial benefits from the state and thereafter makes reimbursements to an employee for the purpose of having an abortion shall immediately have any such contract terminated and shall return any funds received from the state in full.
The Attorney General is permitted to enforce this act by filing an action in circuit court. The court may award injunctive relief and order the repayment of funds if it finds in favor of the state.
This act only applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2024.
