TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) - A House Republican has proposed increasing regulations on abortion clinics, requiring them to be licensed similar to hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.
The proposal, filed by Miami's Carlos Trujillo, will be considered during the 2016 legislative session.
Along with seeking to impose new licensing requirements, the bill includes steps such as forcing abortion clinics to submit construction plans for review by the state Agency for Health Care Administration.
