Ava's Law mandates pregnancy testing for female arrestees and allows courts to delay incarceration for pregnant women.

Ava's Law requires that upon request, a female arrested and not released on bond within 72 hours must be administered a pregnancy test within 24 hours. Detention facilities must notify arrestees of their right to request a pregnancy test. The law defines "pregnant woman" as a juvenile girl or an adult woman whose pregnancy has been verified. Sentencing courts may stay the incarceration of pregnant women convicted of any offense, offering them postpartum assessments and support.
