5 incest, domestic violence, or human trafficking. A woman who
6 states that she is a victim of rape, incest, domestic violence,
7 or human trafficking and is not able to present to the physician
8 a copy of a restraining order, police report, medical record, or
9 other court order or documentation evidencing her statement has
10 a right to waive the 24-hour mandatory waiting period. In the
11 event a woman exercises her right to waive the state-mandated
12 delay, the woman’s health care provider is not subject to any
13 criminal, civil, or administrative penalties for failure to
14 secure consent 24 hours in advance of the procedure. A signed
15 acknowledgement from the woman stating that she has exercised
16 her right to waive certain requirements is sufficient proof of
17 provider compliance. This section does not alter the health care
18 provider’s duty to obtain voluntary and informed consent as
19 otherwise required by this section.
