HB 1132 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to an alternate license to practice medicine in this state and medical care provided at certain health care facilities by physicians with an alternate license.

HB 1132 creates a new "alternate license" for physicians in Texas who do not complete training on abortion or certain procedures prohibited by state law. It requires health care facilities licensed by the Health and Human Services Commission to accept this license for employment, board certification, and practice privileges without discrimination. The bill prohibits facilities from refusing to hire or admit physicians holding this license based solely on their alternate status. The Health and Human Services Commission would implement rules to enforce these provisions, including revoking licenses of facilities that violate the law. This directly affects physicians seeking to practice without specific training and health care facilities employing physicians.
