Existing law prescribes certain rights for a patient of a medical facility or a facility for the dependent. (NRS 449A.100-449A.124) Sections 2-8 of this bill establish the Right to Contraception and Family Planning Services Act. Sections 3.5-5 define certain terms for purposes of the Act. Section 3 establishes the applicability of those definitions. Section 7 applies the provisions of the Act to certain state laws and local laws and ordinances and the implementation of those laws and ordinances, regardless of when those laws or ordinances were enacted. Section 7 also ensures that the provisions of the Act do not apply to: (1) state and local laws and ordinances relating to abortion; and (2) certain regulations and policies of certain entities that regulate education and activities that take place at or are sponsored by a public school. Section 8 generally prohibits a governmental entity from enacting or implementing any limitation or requirement that singles out contraception and family planning services and substantially burdens: (1) the access of a person to contraception and family planning services, drugs or devices related to contraception and family planning services or information related to contraception and family planning services; or (2) the ability of a provider of health care to provide contraception and family planning services, drugs or devices related to contraception and family planning services or information related to contraception and family planning services within his or her scope of practice, training and experience. Section 8 creates an exception to such prohibitions if the governmental entity demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the burden, as applied to the person or provider of health care who is subject to the burden: (1) furthers a compelling interest; and (2) is the least restrictive means of furthering that interest. Section 8 authorizes a person whose ability to obtain or provide contraception and family planning services, drugs or devices related to contraception and family planning services or information related to contraception and family planning services is burdened to bring or defend an action in court and obtain appropriate relief. Section 8 requires a court to award costs and attorney's fees to a person who prevails on such a claim.
