Texas SB350 mandates that health care practitioners prioritize a pregnant individual's health over the fetus when recommending treatments, regardless.

Texas SB350 amends the Health and Safety Code to require physicians and health care practitioners to prioritize the health of a pregnant individual over the fetus when recommending treatments, even if the treatment poses a risk to the fetus. The bill ensures that pregnant individuals retain the right to accept or refuse any treatment, and practitioners may only provide the treatment after obtaining informed consent. Violators may face administrative penalties from the appropriate licensing authority, imposed using the same procedures as other regulatory violations.
