Allow nurses to perform non-surgical abortions
Excerpts from Legislative Counsel's Digest:- Existing law makes it a public offense, punishable by a fine not exceeding $10,000 or imprisonment, for a person to perform or assist in performing a surgical abortion if the person does
not have a valid license to practice as a physician and surgeon.
- This bill makes an exception for performing an abortion by medication or aspiration techniques in the first trimester of pregnancy if the person holds a license to perform the necessary
functions.
- The bill would also require a nurse practitioner, certified nurse-midwife, or physician assistant to complete training to comply with standardized procedures or protocols.
- The bill would delete the references to a nonsurgical abortion
as a punishable offense.
Status:Passed House, 54-20-4; passed Senate 29-8-2; signed by Governor, 10/9/2013. (Kevin de Leon voted YEA).
