telemedicine; abortion prohibition; repeal

HB 2463 repeals Section 36-3604 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which prohibited abortion services provided through telemedicine. This repeal removes a specific legal restriction that previously blocked telehealth providers from offering abortion care in Arizona. The bill does not create new abortion policies but eliminates an existing prohibition on telemedicine for abortion services. As a result, abortion providers could potentially offer telemedicine-based abortion care without violating this statute if the bill becomes law.
