Digest
SB 1159 prohibits physicians and healthcare providers from reporting or disclosing information about a patient’s miscarriage or abortion to law enforcement officers. Violations of this prohibition would constitute a breach of Chapter 181 of the Health and Safety Code, making the provider subject to disciplinary action by licensing authorities. The bill aims to protect patient privacy in reproductive healthcare and prevent law enforcement from accessing sensitive medical information without patient consent​.
