SB 1553 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

abortion; repeals

SB 1553 repeals four existing Arizona laws that previously restricted abortion access and amends Section 15-115.01 to prohibit abortions at public educational institutions (including public colleges, universities, school districts, charter schools, and specialized schools) except when necessary to save the pregnant person's life. This bill directly affects all public educational facilities in Arizona by banning abortion services on their premises under most circumstances. The key provision establishes a clear exception only for life-threatening medical emergencies, aligning with existing definitions of "medical emergency" from Arizona law. The bill does not change abortion access outside of these public educational settings.
