Abortion producing drug; prohibitions provided relating to access to abortion producing drugs via the internet or other information technology systems, Attorney General authorized to enforce, civil cause of action created, criminal penalties provided

HB 611 prohibits internet service providers, cell phone service providers, content delivery networks, physical data centers, and payment providers from facilitating online access to or payment for abortion-producing drugs for delivery within the state. It requires internet and cell phone providers to block websites known to offer these drugs, and the Attorney General is authorized to monitor the internet for such sites. The bill establishes criminal penalties for violations by providers and those who offer the drugs. Additionally, it creates a civil cause of action for wrongful death of an aborted child against entities involved in providing these drugs. The Attorney General can also pursue civil actions, seeking injunctions and fines, with a portion of the collected fines supporting Alabama Pregnancy Resource Centers.
