The '''Arizona nonpayment abortion law''', officially known as Arizona House Bill 2564 ("the Act"), prohibits [[abortion]] providers from obtaining prepayment from mothers before the mandatory 24-hour waiting period elapses. Specifically, this Act:

:the Act prohibits an abortion unless the patient has received certain statutorily-prescribed information, has then waited 24 hours before receiving an abortion, and has consented to the abortion in writing.

A lawsuit challenged these provisions and a prohibition in the Act that prevented abortion providers from obtaining prepayment for an abortion, which has the obvious effective of negating the purpose of the 24-hour waiting period:

:a person shall not "require or obtain payment for a service provided to a patient who has inquired about an abortion or scheduled an abortion until the expiration of the twenty-four hour reflection period required by subsection A [of section 36-2153]." A.R.S. § 36-2153(D). A physician who knowingly violates this provision "commits an act of unprofessional conduct and is subject to license suspension or revocation[.]" A.R.S. § 36-2153(F).
