Establishes minimum standards for pregnancy resource centers in Texas.
This bill creates minimum standards for pregnancy resource centers in Texas, which are organizations providing pregnancy counseling or information without performing abortions or offering comprehensive birth control services. The executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission must establish these standards by rule, ensuring they protect patient health and safety and are equivalent to ambulatory surgical center standards. Centers must have a licensed obstetrician or gynecologist present when providing services. Violators face disciplinary action.
