Highlights include requiring each clinic to have a defibrillator device, written agreements with nearby hospitals for emergency transfers (or to document that they tried to secure an agreement), and a 24-hour phone line staffed by a person. The estimated cost to abortion clinics would amount to about $7,500 the first year, and about $5,800 in subsequent years. The state would spend about $20,000 a year on annual inspections.
