HB 2175 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to health care

HB 2175 modifies Missouri's health care laws to restrict the use of public funds, facilities, and employees for abortions, while also prohibiting state officials from being forced to enforce federal abortion regulations. The bill allows taxpayers and the state attorney general to sue for relief if these restrictions are violated, aiming to protect religious beliefs and state sovereignty. Additionally, it updates coverage rules for the MO HealthNet program, which provides health benefits to low-income residents, by specifying which services are covered and explicitly barring payments to abortion facilities or their affiliates.
