I move that House Bill 1172 be amended to read as follows:
Page 1, between the enacting clause and line 1, begin a new
paragraph and insert:
"SECTION 1. IC 16-34-1-0.5 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA
CODE AS A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS
[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2006]: Sec. 0.5. (a) For purposes of this
article, a fetus that is at least twenty-two (22) weeks of age (from
the first day of the mother's most recent menstrual cycle) is
presumed to have attained viability.
(b) If a fetus is presumed to have attained viability under
subsection (a), no additional medical evaluation is required to
establish the fetus's viability.".
Page 3, after line 7, begin a new paragraph and insert:
"SECTION 2. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2006]: IC 16-34-1-0.5, as
added b this act, applies only to offenses committed after June 30,
2006.".
Renumber all SECTIONS consecutively.
(Reference is to HB 1172 as printed January 27, 2006.)
