House Committee Amendment No. 1

Makes a conforming change.
Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the engrossed bill, and makes the following changes: Provides that each public institution of higher education with student health services shall provide enrolled students with access to one or more health care professionals whose scopes of practice collectively include prescribing and dispensing contraception to patients in the State or include prescribing medication abortion to patients in the State (rather than to health care professionals authorized under State law to prescribe contraception or medication abortion). Makes changes concerning the provision of services. Provides that, beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, each public institution of higher education with student health services shall make available, on the public institution of higher education's student health services' website, information on how students can access medication contraception on campus. Removes language providing that the pharmacy on campus shall dispense the medication abortion to enrolled students who wish to fill their prescriptions at the university pharmacy. Provides that the public institution of higher education shall make medication abortion available at a physical location on campus and enrolled students shall be able to access medication abortion at either a pharmacy on campus, the student health center via a health care professional licensed to dispense medication abortion, or another physical location on campus where students access other similar medications. Makes grammatical changes. Effective immediately.
