AB101: Changes to Health Care Rules and Abortion Regulations
Last scannedAug 22, 2026, 1:27 AM
In one sentence
This bill makes state abortion laws the only rules allowed, bans health care facilities from making false claims about their services, and lets medical boards decide if providers can give medicine to stop or reverse an abortion.
What it does
- Makes existing state laws on abortions override any local city or county rules that specifically regulate or disproportionately affect abortions.
- Defines a health care facility as any entity providing health care, including licensed facilities, provider offices, and clinics.
- Bans health care facilities from making deceptive statements to the public about services they do or do not offer.
- Allows the Attorney General to sue facilities for lying after giving them at least 10 days to fix the mistake.
- Lets state boards for doctors, osteopaths, nurses, and pharmacists create rules allowing providers to give medicine to stop or reverse an abortion if it meets professional standards.
Who it affects
- Cities, counties, districts, agencies, and other local government groups trying to make laws about abortions.
- Health care facilities such as licensed clinics, hospitals, provider offices, and any entity providing health care.
- Physicians, osteopathic physicians, nurses, and pharmacists who might prescribe or give medicine related to stopping an abortion.
- The Attorney General's office when enforcing rules against false advertising.
Limits and unknowns
- The bill does not list the specific civil penalty amounts a court might order; it only states penalties may be awarded.
- The effective date of when these new rules start is not listed in the source material.
- The exact professional standards required to authorize abortion-reversing medication are determined by the boards, not defined directly in this text.
Plain language
Terms to know
- Preempt
