Montana HB555 revises laws on chemical abortion, setting conditions for providers and manufacturer responsibilities.

Montana HB555 revises laws related to chemical abortion by establishing conditions for health care providers and manufacturer responsibilities. It defines "chemical abortion" and "abortion drug" and mandates that providers physically examine patients, be present during the abortion, schedule follow-up visits, and provide catch kits and medical waste bags. Violations result in felony charges and penalties. Manufacturers are held responsible for proper disposal of abortion drugs and must address environmental effects if endocrine-disrupting byproducts are found in wastewater.
