Rep. Breaux presents H.B. 1589 in the Arkansas House of Representatives.

On Monday afternoon the Arkansas House of Representatives passed H.B. 1589.

This good bill by Rep. Harlan Breaux (R – Holiday Island) and Sen. Bob Ballinger (R – Ozark) prohibits government entities, including public schools, in Arkansas from engaging in transactions with abortion providers and affiliates of abortion providers.

It would prevent state and local government entities and subdivisions of the state from using tax revenue or taxpayer resources in transactions with abortion providers.

Arkansans enacted Amendment 68 to the Arkansas Constitution to prevent public funding of abortion. In keeping with Amendment 68, this bill will help ensure that Arkansas does not spend any taxpayer dollars subsidizing abortionists and their affiliates.

The bill now goes to the Arkansas Senate.
