Plain-English Summary

This bill would require prisons to provide pregnant women and incarcerated people with access to obstetric and gynecological care, including prenatal and postpartum services. The legislation aims to ensure that pregnant inmates receive proper medical attention during pregnancy and childbirth rather than being denied or delayed necessary healthcare. The bill affects incarcerated women and their newborns by establishing standards for reproductive health services in correctional facilities.
