     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dignity for Aborted Children Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill sets out requirements for the disposition of human fetal tissue from an abortion.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, it requires abortion providers to obtain a patient's informed consent for one of two specified methods of disposition.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;First, patients may choose to retain possession of the tissue. A patient may choose to transfer the tissue to an entity that provides interment or cremation services.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Second, in cases where the tissue is expelled on the provider&amp;rsquo;s premises, the patient may elect to release the tissue to the provider. Providers must ensure any tissue released to them is interred or cremated within seven days of the procedure in a manner consistent with state law regarding the disposal of human remains.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Abortion providers must report annually about these requirements and other specified information.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill provides civil or criminal penalties for violations of disposal, informed consent, and reporting requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

A patient may choose to transfer the tissue to an entity that provides interment or cremation services.</p> <p>Second, in cases where the tissue is expelled on the provider&rsquo;s premises, the patient may elect to release the tissue to the provider. Providers must ensure any tissue released to them is interred or cremated within seven days of the procedure in a manner consistent with state law regarding the disposal of human remains.</p> <p>Abortion providers must report annually about these requirements and other specified information.</p> <p>The bill provides civil or criminal penalties for violations of disposal, informed consent, and reporting requirements.</p>
