Texas HB70 prohibits transporting or funding the transportation of an unemancipated minor for an abortion without parental consent, imposing civil.

Texas HB70 amends the Health and Safety Code to prohibit the transportation or funding of transportation of an unemancipated minor for an abortion without parental consent. Violators face civil penalties of at least $100,000 per violation and criminal penalties, which escalate to a first-degree felony if the unborn child dies. The appropriate licensing authority may revoke the license of any physician or health care professional involved in such transportation. The act does not apply to abortions performed under certain exceptions.
