Plain-English Summary

The legislation would prohibit law enforcement from using physical restraints like shackles, handcuffs, and leg irons on pregnant women during arrest, transport, and incarceration, except in cases where an officer determines there is an immediate safety threat. The bill would also require correctional facilities to provide pregnant inmates with appropriate medical care and housing accommodations. These protections would apply to pregnant women in federal, state, and local custody.
