LD 616, An Act to Protect Health Care Professionals Providing Reproductive Health Care Services

This law, consistent with Governor Mills’ 2022 Executive Order, strengthens protections for healthcare providers so that they may offer care to people traveling to Maine for abortion care. It prohibits an insurer that provides medical malpractice insurance in Maine from discriminating or taking any adverse action against a healthcare professional who provides abortion or other reproductive healthcare services on the sole basis that the healthcare professional is acting in violation of another state's law or is subject to an adverse action against the healthcare professional's license in another state.
