FETAL HEARTBEAT PREBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT – Amends existing law to establish provisions regarding a civil cause of action when an abortion has been attempted or performed.

Idaho's S 1171 establishes a civil cause of action allowing specific individuals - such as the patient, father, grandparents, siblings, or aunts/uncles of the preborn child - to sue medical professionals who knowingly or recklessly perform or attempt an abortion in violation of Idaho law. The law mandates a minimum $20,000 in statutory damages plus attorney fees for qualifying violations, with lawsuits required to be filed within four years. Crucially, the law explicitly prohibits state enforcement (e.g., by prosecutors or government officials), ensuring civil liability is pursued solely through private lawsuits, independent of any criminal proceedings.
