Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act of 2023

S 78 requires physicians performing abortions on minors from out-of-state to provide at least 24 hours' written notice to the minor's parent before the procedure, unless specific exceptions apply. It prohibits transporting minors across state lines to bypass parental involvement laws in their home state, with penalties for violations. Exceptions include life-threatening medical conditions, compliance with the minor's home state's abortion laws, or documented court authorization. The bill directly affects minors seeking out-of-state abortions, their parents, and medical providers who perform such procedures.
