Texas SB2727 regulates abortion, establishes exceptions, and sets standards for infant palliative care.

SB2727 amends Texas Health and Safety Code to create exceptions to abortion prohibitions, including cases of lethal fetal anomalies. It mandates a multidisciplinary ethics committee to review physician determinations for such exceptions. The bill also sets rules and minimum standards for delivering palliative care to infants born with lethal anomalies. Additionally, it repeals certain abortion-related statutes and ensures no part of the bill can be construed to legalize prohibited conduct or limit other abortion regulations. The changes take effect September 1, 2025.
