Michigan HB5202 mandates health care professionals to report physical complications or deaths from abortions to the state department.

Michigan HB5202 amends the 1978 Public Act 368 by adding a new section requiring health care professionals to submit written reports to the department whenever a patient under their care experiences a physical complication or death resulting from an abortion. The department must then summarize this data for inclusion in the annual statistical report. The bill also mandates the development of a standardized form for these reports, which will be distributed to urgent care facilities and emergency departments, and made available to the public.
