Introduced Text

Wyoming HB0159 aims to protect water from chemical abortion waste by regulating chemical abortions and imposing penalties for violations.

Wyoming HB0159 establishes requirements for chemical abortions, including that health care providers must physically examine the patient, be present during the abortion, schedule a follow-up visit, and provide a catch kit and medical waste bag. It prohibits abortion drugs from entering wastewater or public water supplies and imposes criminal penalties for violations. The bill also mandates that medical waste bags contain warning labels and be a specific color. Manufacturers of abortion drugs found in water supplies are strictly liable for cleanup and remediation costs.
