Sec. 10.
Discrimination against facility.
It shall be unlawful for any
person, public or private
institution or public official to discriminate against any person,
association or corporation attempting to establish a new health care
facility or operating an existing health care facility, in any
manner,
including but not limited to, denial, deprivation or disqualification in
licensing, granting of authorizations, aids, assistance, benefits,
medical staff or any other privileges, and granting authorization to
expand, improve, or create any health care facility, by reason
of the
refusal of such person, association or corporation planning, proposing
or operating a health care facility, to permit or perform any
particular
form of health care service which violates the health
care
facility's conscience as documented in its existing or proposed ethical
guidelines, mission statement, constitution, bylaws, articles of
incorporation,
regulations, or other governing documents.
