Digest
HB 395 amends the Texas Health and Safety Code to introduce exceptions to certain abortion prohibitions. It allows exceptions for pregnancies resulting from sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, or incest, as specified under the Texas Penal Code, without requiring the pregnant patient to file police reports or provide forensic evidence. The bill also repeals outdated statutory provisions and modifies language in other related sections to align with the proposed changes. The act takes effect immediately upon a two-thirds legislative vote or on September 1, 2025.
