What it does
The 2025 law's section on collecting and reporting abortion statistics takes effect July 1, 2027. The rule setting that date took effect March 27, 2026.
Starting July 1, 2027, providers and medical facilities must include gestational age, meaning how far along the pregnancy was when the abortion happened, in their abortion statistics.
