    Bill Summary

    Present law imposes certain licensing and inspection requirements on ambulatory surgical treatment centers (ASTCs), and requires that any facility at which a medical or surgical procedure is utilized to terminate a pregnancy be licensed as an ASTC. Exempted from the requirement that a facility has to be licensed as an ASTC in order for a medical or surgical procedure to terminate a pregnancy be performed there is any physician's or dentist's office at which less than "a substantial number" of such procedures are performed.

    This bill revises the above provisions, as follows:

    (1) This bill requires that any facility at which a surgical procedure to terminate a pregnancy is performed be licensed as an ASTC and removes the requirement that a facility be licensed as an ASTC if only medical procedures to terminate a pregnancy are performed there; and
    (2) Revises the exemption for physician and dentist offices so that such offices do not have to be licensed as ASTCs unless more than 50 surgical abortions are performed in any calendar years.
