(L. 1974 H.B. 1211 § 15, A.L. 1986 H.B. 1596, A.L. 2005 1st Ex. Sess. S.B. 1)

Effective 9-15-05

(2016) Admitting privileges provision is substantially similar to Texas statute held to violate the federal Constitution by placing a substantial obstacle in path of women seeking a previability abortion and by constituting an undue burden on abortion access.  Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, 579 U.S. 582 (2016).
