HB 2586 establishes minimum health and safety standards for pregnancy resource centers that provide pregnancy-related counseling but do not perform abortions or refer patients for abortion services. The bill requires these centers to follow standards similar to ambulatory surgical centers, including patient safety protocols, disclosure requirements, and oversight by licensed healthcare professionals. It also mandates that a licensed obstetrician or gynecologist be present when services are provided. Noncompliance would subject the center to disciplinary actions by the state regulatory agency​.
