A new law known as Act 14 allows various liability protections for those performing abortions or gender-affirming surgeries. It was passed in 2023.
The act “establishes a policy of noncooperation with abusive litigation concerning legally protected health care.” It lists numerous scenarios where police, courts, and other public institutions will be forbidden from cooperating with litigation if it concerns one of these healthcare procedures.
Courts will be restricted in who they can call in for testimony in a case involving abortions or transgender procedures. Also, other public entities in addition to law enforcement will be forbidden from cooperating with litigation.
And if someone from another state is being charged with a crime involving one of these protected activities then Vermont courts would be prohibited from issuing a summons for their arrest.
