SB 2620 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Abortion providers; prohibit public business with.

SB 2620 prohibits Mississippi public entities, including state agencies, hospitals, schools, and local governments, from using public funds for transactions with abortion providers or abortion assistance entities. It bans logistical support like travel, childcare, lodging, or advertising related to abortions, and also prohibits insurance coverage for elective abortions. The bill defines "abortion assistance" broadly to include financial aid for abortion costs or travel, while exempting basic public services (e.g., police, fire) provided equally to all. Violations could trigger civil penalties, and the law requires state medical licensing rules to enforce these provisions.
