S 1103 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Parental Notification and Intervention Act

S 1103 requires healthcare providers to notify a minor's parents (or legal guardians) in writing before performing an abortion on an unemancipated minor under 18, with exceptions for medical emergencies or documented parental abuse. It mandates a 96-hour waiting period after notification and allows parents to seek a court injunction to block the abortion. The bill prohibits abortion providers from proceeding without meeting these requirements, imposing fines up to $100,000 or one year in prison per violation. Medical emergencies requiring immediate treatment are exempt, as are cases where parental notification is impossible due to the emergency. This law directly affects minors seeking abortions, their parents/guardians, and healthcare providers receiving federal funds or operating across state lines.
