A. Within ninety (90) days after the Unborn Child Pain

Awareness/Prevention Act becomes law, the State Department of Health

shall prepare a reporting form for physicians containing a reprint

of the Unborn Child Pain Awareness/Prevention Act and listing:

1. The number of females to whom the physician or an agent of

the physician provided the information described in subsection A of

Section 1-738.8 of this title; of that number, the number provided

by telephone and the number provided in person; and of each of those

numbers, the number provided in the capacity of a referring

physician and the number provided in the capacity of a physician who

is to perform the abortion or agent of such a physician;

2. The number of females who availed themselves of the

opportunity to obtain a copy of the printed information described in

Section 1-738.10 of this title other than on the website, and the

number who did not; and of each of those numbers, the number who, to

the best of the information and belief of the reporting physician,

went on to obtain the abortion; and

3. The number of abortions performed by the physician in which

information otherwise required to be provided at least seventy-two

(72) hours before the abortion was not so provided because an

immediate abortion was necessary to avert the death of the female,

and the number of abortions in which such information was not so

provided because a delay would create serious risk of substantial

and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function.

B. The Department shall ensure that copies of the reporting

forms described in subsection A of this section are provided:

1. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Unborn Child

Pain Awareness/Prevention Act becomes law, to all physicians

licensed to practice in this state;

2. To each physician who subsequently becomes newly licensed to

practice in this state, at the same time as official notification to

that physician that the physician is so licensed; and

part of which the Unborn Child Pain Awareness/Prevention Act was in

ort providing statistics for the previous calendar year compiled

from all of the reports covering that year submitted in accordance

with this section for each of the items listed in subsection A of

this section. Each such report shall also provide the statistics

for all previous calendar years, adjusted to reflect any additional

information from late or corrected reports. The Department shall

take care to ensure that none of the information included in the

public reports could reasonably lead to the identification of any

individual providing or provided information in accordance with

subsection A or B of Section 1-738.8 of this title.

F. The Department, by rule promulgated in accordance with the

Administrative Procedures Act, may alter the dates established by

paragraph 3 of subsection B, subsection C, or subsection E of this

section or consolidate the forms or reports described in this

section with other forms or reports to achieve administrative
