What are the consequences if a physician covered by this law fails to submit a report or fails to submit one in a timely fashion?
Under the law, late reports are subject to a late fee of $500.00 for that reporting period and for each 30-day period, or portion of a 30-day period, in which the report remains overdue. A physician in a licensed abortion facility who fails to submit a report for more than one year following the due date, may be directed by court order to submit such report or be subject to sanctions for civil contempt. See O.C.G.A.
