Abstract

Create a new section of KRS Chapter 216B to define "pregnancy resource center"; require pregnancy resource centers to be licensed; require the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to promulgate administrative regulations to establish licensure standards for pregnancy resource centers; provide that operation or advertisement of a pregnancy resource center without a license is a Class A misdemeanor; provide that a pregnancy resource center's or health care provider's liability is neither limited nor expanded by the licensure requirement; and amend KRS 216B.990 to establish penalties for violations by pregnancy resource centers.
