Mr. Bliley moved to recommit with instructions to Energy and Commerce.
DEBATE - The House proceeded with ten minutes of debate on the Bliley motion to recommit with instructions. The instructions contained in the motion require the Committee on Energy and Commerce to report the bill back with an amendment which would require Title X clinics that also provide abortion services with non-federal funds to notify a parent or guardian before performing an abortion on a minor. The parental notification requirement could be waived in three instances: if the minor's physician certifies that the abortion is necessary to prevent her death, and that there is insufficient time to provide the required notice; the minor declares that her pregnancy resulted from incest by her parent or legal guardian; or, that the Title X grant recipient complies with a state or local parental notification law which is at least as stringent as the federal standard established in the Bliley amendment.
The previous question on the motion to recommit with instructions was ordered without objection.
