Insurance CoverageFull Bill Text
AB 216 would have banned Wisconsin’s insurance program for public employees from covering abortions, and would have exempted religious organizations from providing contraceptives under employee-sponsored health insurance plans.
An amendment to the bill would also have allowed employees of religious organizations to have contraception coverage if contraception is prescribed for a medical reason other than preventing pregnancy, but would have required that the employee request such coverage from her employer.
STATUS
Companion bill to SB 202.
