Abortion; create crime of performing by an abortifacient supplied by a person or entity out-of-state.
HB 1055 creates a felony offense for out-of-state individuals or entities that supply abortion medication (abortifacient) to Mississippi residents, defining "foreign sender" as anyone mailing, shipping, or placing such medication in commerce knowing it will be used in Mississippi. It imposes penalties of up to $100,000 or 10 years in prison for violations, while allowing pregnant women to sue foreign senders for $10,000 per violation. Key provisions include criminal penalties for out-of-state suppliers and civil remedies for affected individuals, with defenses for licensed physicians providing legitimate medical care and pharmacies filling valid prescriptions. The bill does not criminalize local medical practices or affect pregnant women’s criminal liability.
