HB 3203 allows certain medical or therapeutic treatment provided without informed consent to be treated as aggravated assault and battery (a Class B5 felony with up to 4 years in prison and/or up to a $5,000 fine).
It makes it unlawful for a provider to knowingly perform treatment that causes physical injury or emotional distress, failing to give adequate info about risks/alternatives, or proceeding after the patient explicitly said no.
Effective November 1, 2026.
