HF 2563 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to abortions including informed consent, dispensing abortion-inducing drugs, and reporting abortion-inducing drug complications.

HF 2563 requires physicians to obtain specific written consent before prescribing abortion-inducing drugs (like mifepristone or misoprostol), including confirming patients understand risks such as hemorrhage, incomplete abortion, or infection. It mandates providing the FDA patient agreement form and information about potential "reversal" of chemical abortions, along with follow-up care guidance. The bill also requires health care providers to report drug complications to the state and post reversal resources online. This directly affects physicians, clinics, and women seeking medication abortions in Iowa, adding new consent, information, and reporting obligations for chemical abortion procedures.
