HB 2369 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Prohibits providers of medical malpractice insurance from denying coverage to a health care professional solely because he or she provides or assists in the provision of abortions

HB 2369 requires medical malpractice insurance providers in Missouri to offer coverage to health care professionals who perform or assist with abortions, preventing them from denying policies solely based on this practice. The bill defines specific terms such as "abortion," "unborn child," and "medical emergency" to clarify the scope of the law and establishes minimum insurance coverage amounts for facilities employing these professionals. Additionally, the legislation mandates that failure to maintain the required insurance can lead to sanctions against a professional's license, while also allowing facilities to provide the necessary coverage themselves if needed.
