TO AUTHORIZE THE LICENSURE OF CLINICS, HEALTH CENTERS, OR OTHER FACILITIES IN WHICH A PREGNANCY IS TERMINATED OR ABORTED IF CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES ARE MET.

House Bill 1781 proposes to require licensure for clinics, health centers, or other facilities in Arkansas that terminate or abort pregnancies, including nonsurgical methods. These facilities would need to meet all requirements for an ambulatory surgery center. The bill's effectiveness is contingent on specific legal conditions, such as the Attorney General certifying that current state laws preventing most abortions have been enjoined, repealed, or amended to permit abortions beyond saving the life of the pregnant woman.
