This amendment modifies the definition of health care in the bill by expanding mental health protections, clarifying in vitro fertilization exceptions, redefining what constitutes life-terminating acts, and making the act's effective date contingent on an earlier occurrence between March 1, 2026 or a Wyoming Supreme Court decision on the Life is a Human Right Act.
- Changes the bill title from 'providing for an effective date' to 'providing for contingent effective dates'. (Page 1, line 4)
- Expands the definition of health care to include mental health in addition to therapeutic physical health, and modifies the temporal reference to include both 'moment of conception' and 'fertilization'. (Page 2, lines 1-7)
- Adds clarification that fertilized eggs implanted through in vitro fertilization that are expelled from the uterus after the procedure shall not be construed as an abortion. (Page 2, lines 1-7)
- Replaces the definition of what acts shall not be construed as health care by narrowing the scope to acts that intentionally terminate heart, brain, central nervous system or respiratory system function, and adds exceptions for medically necessary treatment of illness or injury and for cases where meaningful recovery is not possible as determined by a licensed medical provider. (Page 2, lines 9-16)
- Changes the effective date from July 1, 2025 to the earlier of March 1, 2026 or the date the Wyoming Supreme Court renders a decision on the constitutionality of the Life is a Human Right Act, with the Attorney General required to certify such date to the Secretary of State. (Page 3, line 5)
