H.R. 4828 would amend the Public Health Service Act to codify the prohibition against the federal government and state and local governments that receive federal financial assistance for health-related activities penalizing or discriminating against a health-care provider based on the provider’s refusal to be involved in, or provide coverage for, abortion.
Health-care provider is defined to mean:
The Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Health and Human Services, in coordination with the Department of Justice (DOJ), would be required to investigate complaints alleging discrimination based on an individual’s religious belief, moral conviction, or refusal to be involved in an abortion.
The DOJ or any entity adversely affected by such discrimination may obtain equitable or legal relief in a civil action.
