SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill and is the minority report of the committee. The amendment requires that a health care provider involved in the care of a pregnant woman who knows or has reasonable cause to suspect that a fetus has been or will be affected by the pregnant woman's unlawful use of drugs during the pregnancy is required to notify the Department of Health and Human Services of the pregnant woman's unlawful use of drugs. The amendment also specifies that this notification must be made in the same manner as other reports of abuse or neglect required by the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 22, chapter 1071, subchapter 2 and that the notification may not be construed to establish a definition of "abuse" or "neglect" and may not be construed to require prosecution for any illegal action, including, but not limited to, the act of exposing a fetus to drugs or other substances or unlawful use of drugs by a pregnant woman.
