This bill would create legal protections for Kentucky women who travel out of state to receive reproductive health care, as well as for anyone who helps them do so. It would establish definitions, privacy safeguards, and a civil cause of action, meaning people whose protections are violated could sue. The bill also waives certain state immunity provisions to allow such lawsuits to proceed. Who it may affect: women seeking reproductive health care out of state, and individuals or organizations that assist them.
