Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would create new privacy protections for Kentucky women who travel out of state to seek reproductive health care, as well as for anyone who helps them do so. It would also allow people to sue in court if those protections are violated, and it removes a legal barrier that would otherwise prevent suing the state government over such violations. Who it may affect: women seeking out-of-state reproductive health care, people or organizations who assist them, and health care professionals involved in that process.
