California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 2 — Healing ArtsChapter 1 — General ProvisionsArticle 13 — Standards for Licensure or CertificationSection 850.3

(a) Notwithstanding any other state law, and consistent with Sections 1 and 1.1 of Article I of the California Constitution, an individual or state or local officer shall not commence a criminal, civil, professional discipline, or licensing action against an individual licensed or certified by a healing arts board concerning the manufacture, transport, distribution, delivery, receipt, acquisition, sale, possession, furnishment, dispensation, repackaging, or storage of brand name or generic mifepristone or any drug used for medication abortion that is lawful under the laws of the state.

(b) A healing arts board shall not suspend a license, revoke a license, or otherwise take disciplinary action against a licensee solely on the basis that the licensee manufactured, transported, distributed, delivered, received, acquired, sold, possessed, furnished, dispensed, repackaged, or stored brand name or generic mifepristone or any drug used for medication abortion that is lawful under the laws of the state.

(c) A healing arts board shall not deny an application for licensure, or suspend a license, revoke a license, or otherwise impose discipline upon a licensee or health care practitioner subject to this division solely because the licensee or practitioner was convicted or disciplined in another state solely for an activity related to brand name or generic mifepristone or any drug used for medication abortion that, if performed in this state, would not be grounds for denial, suspension, revocation, or other discipline.

Notes

Prohibits criminal, civil, professional-discipline, or licensing actions concerning specified handling of mifepristone or another medication-abortion drug when the activity is lawful in California. Also bars healing-arts boards from disciplining or denying licensure solely for such lawful activity or for out-of-state conviction or discipline based solely on comparable activity that would not support California discipline.
