The legislative session ended in the early morning hours of Saturday April 20, 2024. It was a disappointing session for the pro-life movement. While we appreciate the extra effort our legislators took to have a special session last summer to re-pass our Heartbeat bill once again, this session produced very little in terms of the life issues. Here is what passed for this session:
SF 2251 Expands Medicaid Coverage for One Year Post-Partum
SF 2252 MOMS (More Options for Maternal Support) Program
HF 2276 Requires Zoning of Maternity Homes as Residential Property
