Texas SB351 amends the child health plan to exclude reproductive services and prescription contraceptives unless consent is obtained from a parent.

Texas SB351 amends the child health plan to ensure primary and preventive health benefits do not include reproductive services and prescription contraceptive drugs, supplies, or devices for children under 18 unless written consent is obtained from a parent, guardian, or managing conservator, or from the child if authorized by law. The plan must cover FDA-approved contraceptive drugs, supplies, or devices but may not cover abortifacients or any drug or device that terminates a pregnancy. The bill also allows for delays in implementation if a federal waiver or authorization is necessary.
