Codifies authority for certain health care providers to provide abortions and clarifies certain operational requirements for abortion facilities.

This bill codifies the authority of physician assistants, certified nurse midwives, certified midwives, and advanced practice nurses to provide both aspiration and medication abortions within their scope of practice. It clarifies that abortion facilities performing procedures not requiring general anesthesia or operating rooms (such as early aspiration abortions) are not required to be licensed as ambulatory surgical facilities. The bill ensures these facilities won't be subject to certain licensing restrictions that apply to ambulatory care facilities, as long as they follow standard care regulations. This aims to increase access to abortion services by expanding the pool of qualified providers and reducing unnecessary facility requirements.
