Safeguarding Teens from Out-of-State (abortion) Procedures Act; create felony for assisting minors in procuring abortion.

HB 148, the "Safeguarding Teens from Out-of-State (Abortion) Procedures (STOP) Act," makes it a felony to assist a minor (under 18) in obtaining an abortion or abortion-inducing drugs while concealing the procedure from their parents or guardians. It specifically targets actions like providing transportation, shelter, or money to help minors travel to another state for an abortion, punishable by 20+ years in prison or fines up to $500,000. The law explicitly states that abortions performed out-of-state do not excuse liability, and parental consent is a valid defense against prosecution. Civil lawsuits for damages are also permitted, though the bill clarifies it does not create a right to abortion or override existing state abortion laws.
