  1  9 amended by adding the following new paragraphs:
  1 10    NEW PARAGRAPH.  k.  A clinical estimate of the week of

  1 15                           EXPLANATION
  1 16    This bill amends the section of the Code relating to
  1 17 termination of pregnancy reporting.  The bill requires a
  1 18 health care provider who initially identifies and diagnoses a
  1 19 spontaneous termination of pregnancy or who induces a
  1 20 termination of pregnancy to report the specific procedure used
  1 21 if the termination of pregnancy is induced, a clinical
  1 22 estimate of the week of gestation in which the termination
  1 23 occurred, and the county in which the patient resides.  Under
  1 24 existing law, the procedure used to induce a termination of
  1 25 pregnancy is not required to be reported, only the month and
  1 26 year of the termination are to be reported, and the maternal
  1 27 health services region not the county in which the patient
  1 28 resides is to be reported.
