LC 981 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws related to chemical abortion

This bill revises Montana laws governing chemical abortion by establishing specific conditions for health care providers and imposing penalties for violations. It requires providers to physically examine patients, be present during administration, schedule follow-up visits within seven days, and supply catch kits for proper disposal of medical waste. The legislation also mandates that drug manufacturers are responsible for cleaning up endocrine-disrupting chemicals from wastewater systems if they result from at-home abortions. A life endangerment exception allows chemical abortion without meeting these requirements when necessary to preserve the mother's life.
