This bill would create a new legal definition for "pregnancy resource centers" in Kentucky and require them to obtain a state license to operate. The Cabinet for Health and Family Services would be responsible for setting the standards for that license. Running or advertising such a center without a license would be considered a Class A misdemeanor under state law. Who it may affect: operators of pregnancy resource centers, and Kentuckians who use their services.
