Parental Notification and Intervention Act of 2023

Parental Notification and Intervention Act of 2023

This bill restricts the performance of an abortion on an unemancipated minor under 18 years of age.

Specifically, it prohibits a person or organization from performing, facilitating, or assisting with an abortion on an unemancipated minor without first complying with certain requirements, including parental notification and a 96-hour waiting period.

It establishes penalties—a fine, up to one year in prison, or both—for each willful violation.

A parent who is required to be notified of an abortion of an unemancipated minor may sue in federal court to prohibit the abortion.

Parental notification requirements may be waived in a medical emergency or in a case of physical abuse.
