HB 17-1086

HB 17-1086, also known as the Abortion Pill Reversal Information Act, requires doctors to give women detailed information about a potential method called "abortion pill reversal" at least 24 hours before administering abortion pills. This ensures that women are aware of all their options if they change their mind after receiving this information. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment must also post relevant details about this procedure on its website. Since the bill has been signed, it is now law and doctors in Colorado are required to follow these guidelines when providing abortion pills.
