This version removes the fiscal impact analysis and detailed penalty descriptions from the bill's preamble. The changes eliminate references to the Office of Legislative Services' fiscal assessment, which had projected indeterminate costs across multiple state agencies for prosecuting and adjudicating interference with reproductive health care services, including specific incarceration costs averaging $78,848 per person annually in FY 2026. The version also removes descriptions of criminal penalties (ranging from 18 months and $10,000 fines for fourth-degree crimes to ten years and $150,000 fines for second-degree crimes) and civil penalties (up to $10,000 for first violations and $25,000 for subsequent violations). The preamble is replaced with a statement indicating that Assembly floor amendments removed the civil penalty provision entirely for causing harm based on involvement with reproductive health care services.
