Restrictions on Interstate Minor Abortion Transport and Parental Notification

This act introduces new rules for transporting minors across state lines for abortions, requiring parental consent or notification. It aims to strengthen parental rights in their children's medical decisions but may complicate access to abortion for minors in states with stricter laws.
Key points
Prohibits transporting minors across state lines for an abortion if it circumvents local parental involvement laws.
Physicians performing abortions on minors from another state must provide at least 24 hours' notice to a parent.
Parents can sue individuals who violate these provisions, unless the parent committed incest with the minor.
Exceptions include life-threatening situations for the minor, reported sexual abuse by the minor, or judicial authorization.
