606 The Legislature is aware of the discovery, nationwide, of abortion clinics that operate in
607 unsafe and unsanitary conditions, risking the health and safety of women. The Legislature is
608 very concerned of the risks posed to women in these circumstances and intends to take action
609 to help ensure that these conditions do not exist in Utah. The purpose of this bill is to protect
610 women in Utah from these risks in a manner that does not conflict with the rights, held by state
611 and federal courts to be protected by the United States Constitution, in relation to abortion.
612 The Legislature intends that the department enact rules, and enforce those rules and the
613 provisions of this bill, in a manner that does not place an undue burden on these rights.
614 Section 9. Effective date.
615 This bill takes effect on July 1, 2011.
