Digest
SB 2352 prohibits knowingly transporting or funding the transportation of an unemancipated minor from Texas to another state or country for the purpose of obtaining an abortion without parental consent. It establishes a second-degree felony offense for violations, with the charge elevated to a first-degree felony if the unborn child dies as a result of the abortion. The bill also imposes a civil penalty of at least $100,000 per violation and allows the attorney general to seek recovery of these penalties, including attorney’s fees. Additionally, it mandates license revocation for healthcare professionals who facilitate such transportation​.
