Adds to existing law to prohibit the use of public funds for abortion.
The proposed legislation ensures taxpayer dollars do not support the abortion industry by prohibiting the expenditure of taxpayer dollars to abortion providers. It prohibits public contracting or participating in any commercial transaction with an abortion provider. The legislation also prohibits the use of any public asset or employee to procure, counsel in favor, refer to, or perform an abortion. These prohibitions apply to all units of government in Idaho including state, county, municipal, public health districts, and public school districts. Intentional non-compliance is subject to prosecution under the state's misuse of public funds statute. Medicaid is not implicated in this legislation.
