This bill, titled the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, seeks to prevent minors from circumventing state laws requiring parental involvement in abortion decisions by traveling across state lines. It establishes a federal offense for anyone who knowingly transports a minor across a state line with the intent that the minor obtain an abortion, thereby abridging a parent's right under their home state's parental involvement law. An abridgement occurs if the abortion is performed without the parental consent, notification, or judicial authorization that would have been required in the minor's state of residence. Furthermore, the bill creates a new federal requirement for physicians. A physician performing an abortion on a minor who resides in a different state must provide at least 24 hours of actual or constructive notice to a parent of that minor before the procedure. Several exceptions apply, including when the abortion is necessary to save the minor's life, if the minor declares abuse and authorities are notified, or if a court in the minor's home state has waived parental notification. Violations of these provisions can result in fines or imprisonment for up to one year, or both, and allow harmed parents to pursue civil action for relief, unless they have committed incest with the minor. The bill also defines key terms such as abortion , minor , and law requiring parental involvement in a minor's abortion decision to clarify its scope.
