Establishes the "Respect People's Abortion Decisions Act"

HB 2483, titled "Respect People's Abortion Decisions Act," proposes definitions for key terms related to abortion (such as "abortion," "medical emergency," and "gestational age") and states that "the state shall protect a person's right to terminate a pregnancy" under certain conditions. It defines abortion broadly as "the intentional termination of the pregnancy" and specifies that a "medical emergency" justifies abortion to prevent death or serious harm. The bill claims no criminal prosecution can occur for actions permitted under it, though it remains in early prefiled stages (prefiled December 2025, read first time January 2026). This bill does not yet create enforceable policy but outlines proposed definitions and protections for abortion access.
