Bill overview
The Dignity for Aborted Children Act requires abortion providers to inform patients about options for the disposal of fetal tissue after an abortion, including the ability to have the tissue transferred for interment or cremation or to release it to the provider. It mandates that providers dispose of the tissue within seven days through interment or cremation, consistent with state law, and requires annual reporting of abortion procedures, gestational ages, and fetal tissue disposal methods. Violations of these requirements could result in civil or criminal penalties.
