     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Woman's Right To Know Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill specifies requirements for&amp;nbsp;informed consent that health care providers must obtain before performing an abortion procedure.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Providers must present a woman seeking an abortion with an authorization form at least 24 hours before performing the procedure. The form must (1) include specified information concerning gestational age, associated developmental characteristics,&amp;nbsp;and medical risks; (2) disclose penalties&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;providers may face for failing to obtain the requisite informed consent; and (3) include an affirmation that the individual signing the form understands the information. The form must be signed and witnessed in person and retained in the medical file.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Providers do not&amp;nbsp;have to obtain such consent if, in reasonable medical judgment, obtaining it would pose a greater risk of death or substantial physical impairment of a major bodily function, excluding psychological or emotional conditions, of the pregnant woman.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also establishes civil penalties for providers who do not comply with these requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
