AN ACT ELIMINATING THE PRACTICE OF FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION.
HB 6548 bans female genital mutilation (FGM) by amending the state's general statutes to eliminate the practice. It directly protects girls and women who face the risk of this harmful procedure. The bill's key mechanism is a statutory change that prohibits FGM as a legal practice, aligning state law with protections against this form of violence. The stated purpose explicitly aims to safeguard individuals from genital mutilation through legislative action.
