Fiscal Note
Status:
The final fiscal note reflects the introduced bill. This bill was not enacted into law;
therefore, the impacts identified in this analysis do not take effect.
Summary of Legislation
The bill requires healthcare providers who perform induced terminations of pregnancies to report
specified information related to a woman's demographics, health history, the procedure, and the
reason for the termination to the state registrar of vital statistics in the Department of Public Health
and Environment (CDPHE) in an electronic format as prescribed by the state registrar. The reported
information must not include information that could identify the women who obtained induced
terminations of pregnancies. The state registrar must summarize this information in an annual report.
CDPHE's executive director may promulgate rules as necessary concerning the information required
to be reported under the bill and the electronic form, timeliness, and manner in which the information
must be reported.
A physician, physician assistant, or advance practice registered nurse who falsifies or fails to submit
the required information engages in unprofessional conduct pursuant to their respective practice acts.

Background
The state registrar of vital statistics in CDPHE currently collects and reports data regarding induced
terminations of pregnancy: https://cdphe.colorado.gov/center-for-health-and-environmental-
data/registries-and-vital-statistics/vital-statistics-program.
State Expenditures
This bill will minimally increase workload in the CDPHE and the Department of Regulatory Agencies
(DORA) in FY 2022-23. For CDPHE, workload will increase to make a small update the data collection
form used by providers and the annual report format in order to collect and report the specific data
fields identified in the bill. Rulemaking may also be required by the Vital Records Office. DORA may
perform outreach and education through the medical and nursing boards in the Division of
Professions and Occupations, and may experience in an increase in complaints. No change in
appropriations is required for either agency.
Effective Date
The bill was postponed indefinitely by the House Health and Insurance Committee on
February 23, 2022.
