HB 709/SB 1036
Reproductive Health Care Rights
by Representative Diamond and Senator Berman
CoSponsors: Arrington, Eskamani, Rayner, Thompson
This legislation would create the “Reproductive Health Care Protection Act” in Florida Statute.
It would codify that reproductive health care is a fundamental right and ensure that each
person in the state of Florida is protected from government entities discriminating against,
denying, or unduly burdening a person’s right to reproductive health care, including the right
to have an abortion. It would also provide a civil cause of action if your reproductive rights
were violated based on Article I Section 23 of Florida’s constitution, which grants a greater
right to privacy than the federal constitution.
STATUS: Did not see legislative action.
