2013 Idaho Statutes
Title 18 - CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS
Chapter 5 - PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT
Section 18-506 - REPORTING.
(2) By June 30 of each year, the department shall issue a public report providing statistics for the previous calendar year compiled from all of the reports covering that year submitted in accordance with this section for each of the items listed in subsection (1) of this section. Each such report shall also provide the statistics for all previous calendar years during which this section was in effect, adjusted to reflect any additional information from late or corrected reports. The department shall take care to ensure that none of the information included in the public reports could reasonably lead to the identification of any pregnant woman upon whom an abortion was performed.
(3) Any physician who fails to submit a report by the end of thirty (30) days following the due date shall be subject to a late fee of five hundred dollars ($500) for each additional thirty (30) day period or portion of a thirty (30) day period the report is overdue. Any physician required to report in accordance with this chapter who has not submitted a report, or has submitted only an incomplete report, more than one (1) year following the due date, may, in an action brought by the department, be directed by a court of competent jurisdiction to submit a complete report within a time period stated by court order or be subject to civil contempt. Intentional or reckless failure by any physician to conform to any requirement of this section, other than late filing of a report, makes the physician subject to medical discipline under section 54-1814(6), Idaho Code. Intentional or reckless failure by any physician to submit a complete report in accordance with a court order renders the physician subject to civil contempt and makes the physician subject to medical discipline pursuant to section 54-1814(6), Idaho Code. Intentional or reckless falsification of any report required under this section is a misdemeanor.
(4) Within ninety (90) days after the effective date of this act, the department shall adopt and promulgate rules to assist in compliance with this section. Subsection (1) of this section shall take effect so as to require reports regarding all abortions performed or induced on and after the first day of the first calendar month following the effective date of such rules.
