HB 37 creates civil penalties and a private right of action for distributing or facilitating the use of abortion-inducing drugs. It establishes a system of strict liability, limits defenses, and bars state officials from enforcing the law—reserving enforcement for private citizens through lawsuits. It also restricts Texas courts from hearing constitutional challenges to the law and imposes penalties on anyone trying to stop its enforcement.
