New laws or provisions of existing laws will take effect Friday, including an expansion on who can perform abortions, certain protections for people who obtain abortions, an increase to the state minimum wage, and some prohibitions on the sale of catalytic converters.
The following are summaries some of the new measures that take effect July 1:
In light of the leaked Supreme Court draft decision released in early May that would overturn Roe v. Wade (subsequently officially released with some minor modifications last Friday), the state legislature passed a measure that expands who can provide aspiration abortions to include advanced practice registered nurses, nurse midwives and physician assistants. The new laws also authorize those providers to perform medication abortions.
In addition, a new law protects individuals’ privacy by preventing the disclosure of medical information related to reproductive health that is legal in Connecticut. The law prohibits the extradition to anti-abortion states of anyone who seeks, provides or assists others who seek reproductive health care that is legal in Connecticut.
Finally, the law enables individuals to recover costs incurred defending an out-of-state action based on reproductive health care services that are legal in the state.
