(1) place an individual's (including, with respect to a pregnant woman, her unborn child's) health in serious jeopardy;(2) result in serious impairment to the individual's (including, with respect to a pregnant woman, her unborn child's) bodily functions; or(3) result in serious dysfunction of a bodily organ or part of the individual (including, with respect to a pregnant woman, her unborn child).Added by P.L. 147-2017,SEC. 1, eff. 7/1/2017.
