Establishes minimum standards for pregnancy resource centers in Texas.
The bill amends the Health and Safety Code to add a new chapter on pregnancy resource centers. It defines these centers as 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 set minimum standards for these centers, ensuring they protect patient health and safety and meet requirements similar to ambulatory surgical centers. Centers must have a licensed obstetrician or gynecologist present when providing services.
