It requires infants born alive after attempted abortions to be guaranteed the “same claim to the protection of the law that would arise for any newborn, or for any person who comes to a hospital, clinic, or other facility.” Violators would be guilty of a Class D felony and face a fine of up to $250,000.

“Nurses, doctors, if you see something, you have a duty to report. And that’s a big part of this bill,” GOP state Rep. Sarah Stevens said.
