34-23A-58.4. Registry may not include entities licensed to place children for adoption or perform abortions--List of licensed persons who provide counseling--Removal from registry for failure to comply.
Prior to adding an entity to the registry of pregnancy help centers, the department shall cross-reference the state's records to ensure that the entity is not licensed to place children for adoption or licensed to perform abortions. The department may not list on the registry any entity which is licensed to place children for adoption or which is licensed to perform abortions. The department shall cross-reference the state's records at least once each calendar year to ensure that any pregnancy help center already on the registry of pregnancy help centers has not been licensed to place children for adoption or licensed to perform abortions. If a pregnancy help center on the registry is so licensed, the department shall remove that pregnancy help center from the registry. Each year, commencing in 2015, each pregnancy help center listed on the state registry maintained by the department shall, by January twentieth, provide the department with a list of licensed persons who may provide the counseling at the pregnancy help center in compliance with §§34-23A-58.1, 34-23A-58.2, and 34-23A-58.3. If a pregnancy help center fails to provide such list by January twentieth in any particular year, the department shall issue a notice to the pregnancy help center that if it fails to provide such list of licensed persons within ninety days of the receipt of such notice, the department will remove the pregnancy help center from the registry of pregnancy help centers authorized to provide the counseling required by §§34-23A-53 to 34-23A-61, inclusive, and described under §34-23A-59. The department shall cross-reference the state's records to confirm that the licensed persons listed by the pregnancy help center maintain a current license. The department may inquire of any licensed persons listed by a registered pregnancy help center to confirm that they are available for the counseling required by the law. If the department determines that a pregnancy help center on the registry does not have a person currently licensed to provide the required counseling, the department shall notify the pregnancy help center of that determination and if the pregnancy help center cannot demonstrate that it has a licensed person to provide the counseling consistent with the law, the department shall remove the pregnancy help center from the registry. If a pregnancy help center is removed by the department from its registry pursuant to this section, the department shall inform all physicians, facilities, and entities to whom the department provides a copy of the registry of pregnancy help centers that the pregnancy help center is removed.
