Abortion-Inducing Drug Certification
This program was required by the legislature through the 2022 enactment of HB 3 in order to oversee and regulate the distribution and dispensing of abortion-inducing drugs. A manufacturer, distributor, pharmacy, or abortion facility is required to obtain certification by CHFS in order to transport, supply, sell, or dispense abortion-inducing drugs. Additionally, only a qualified physician registered with CHFS may provide abortion-inducing drugs to a pregnant person. A registered physician in Kentucky can only prescribe an abortion-inducing drug to prevent the substantial risk of death of the pregnant woman, or to save a life-sustaining organ of a pregnant woman. KRS 216B.208 imposes fines of up to $5,000,000 for violations. See 902 KAR 20:365 and KRS 216B.200 to 216B.210 for more information.
