HB 5277 revises the responsibilities of the Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee, requiring the committee to collect, maintain, and analyze data on pregnancy-related deaths, including those related to voluntary termination of pregnancy. The bill mandates that maternal health records related to elective abortions be included in the committee's reports on maternal mortality trends and disparities. However, it maintains existing restrictions on the public disclosure of abortion-related medical records.
