A bill to amend 1978 PA 368, entitled
"Public health code,"
by amending section 2690 (MCL 333.2690).
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 2690. (1) A person shall not knowingly sell, collect any
fee for, transfer, distribute, or give away an embryo, fetus, or
neonate
for a use which that is in violation of sections 2685 to
2689.
(2) A person shall not knowingly financially benefit from or
receive any type of compensation for the distribution or transfer
of an embryo, fetus, or neonate or any portion of an embryo, fetus,
or neonate including any organs, tissues, or cells that were
obtained as the result of an elective abortion. As used in this
subsection, "elective abortion" means the intentional use of an
instrument, drug, or other substance or device to terminate a
woman's pregnancy for a purpose other than to increase the
probability of a live birth, to preserve the life or health of the
child after live birth, or to remove a dead fetus. Elective
abortion does not include either of the following:
(a) The prescription of or use of a drug or device intended as
a contraceptive.
(b) The intentional use of an instrument, drug, or other
substance or device by a physician to terminate a woman's pregnancy
if the woman's physical condition, in the physician's reasonable
medical judgment, necessitates the termination of the woman's
pregnancy to avert her death.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days
after the date it is enacted into law.
