Arizona HB2074 criminalizes partial-birth abortions and mandates reporting by medical personnel.
Arizona HB2074 amends existing law to classify partial-birth abortions as a class 6 felony for physicians who perform them, punishable by up to two years in prison, a fine, or both. The bill also mandates that any medical personnel, including doctors, nurses, technicians, and volunteers, who have direct knowledge of a partial-birth abortion must report it to the county attorney. Failure to report is a class 2 misdemeanor. The legislation explicitly excludes the mother from any criminal or civil liability.
