An Act prohibiting State agencies from providing funding and contracting with a person who provides or is affiliated with another person who provides abortion-related activities; requiring a person enrolled in a medical assistance program to attest that the person is not engaging in abortion-related activities; and imposing duties on the Department of Human Services.

HB 1962 prohibits state agencies from providing funding or entering contracts with individuals or entities that provide or are affiliated with abortion-related activities. It requires people enrolled in medical assistance programs to certify they are not engaging in such activities. The bill also mandates the Department of Human Services to establish procedures for verifying these attestations and enforcing the restrictions. These provisions directly impact state-funded programs, healthcare providers receiving state contracts, and medical assistance beneficiaries.
