    5  incest, domestic violence, or human trafficking. A woman who
    6  states that she is a victim of rape, incest, domestic violence,
    7  or human trafficking and is not able to present to the physician
    8  a copy of a restraining order, police report, medical record, or
    9  other court order or documentation evidencing her statement has
   10  a right to waive the 24 hour mandatory waiting period. In the
   11  event a woman has exercised her right to waive the state
   12  mandated delay, the woman’s health care provider is not subject
   13  to any criminal, civil, or administrative penalties for failure
   14  to secure consent 24 hours in advance of the procedure. The
   15  woman’s signature noting that she has exercised her right to
   16  waive certain requirements is sufficient proof of provider
   17  compliance. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to
   18  alter the health care provider’s duty to obtain voluntary and
   19  informed consent as otherwise required by this section.
