HB 2547 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

abortions; public funding; prohibition

This bill prohibits Arizona from using public funds to support family planning services at facilities that perform or promote abortions. It requires state and local funding for family planning to prioritize state-owned health facilities, hospitals, and federally qualified health centers, while banning contracts with providers offering non-federally qualified abortions (abortion services not covered by federal Medicaid). The law allows the state attorney general or affected entities to sue for repayment of improperly spent funds and recover attorney fees. It directly affects family planning providers receiving state or local funding who offer abortion services outside federal Medicaid eligibility.
