HB 1200 would grant the attorney general the authority to investigate and punish any violations of the unlawful transfer of fetal tissue from an abortion for valuable consideration to an institution that conducts fetal tissue research.

The attorney general would replace the department of public health and environment and state registrar, which are currently tasked with enforcement and prohibition.
