House and Senate budget negotiators have reached a tentative agreement on a contentious family planning provision that Republicans want in the state budget.
Under the deal, a proposal to require state-funded family planning providers to physically and financially separate family planning and abortion services would only kick in if a state review found that tax dollars were improperly funding abortion. Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley, the architect of the compromise, said the review would be certified by the state s top health official.
“If it s not verified, then the consequences would take effect but until then the provision of these services could go unimpeded,” Bradley said Tuesday during a negotiating session.
