Relating to required labeling of certain products containing or derived from aborted human fetal tissue.
HB 1304 requires clear labeling on products containing or derived from human fetal tissue, including food additives, medical products (like medications and vaccines), and cosmetics. The bill defines "human fetal tissue" as tissue, cells, or organs obtained from aborted unborn children. Sellers must label these products conspicuously by state rules, with full implementation required by December 1, 2025. This directly affects manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of such products sold in Texas. The law does not ban these products but mandates transparent labeling for consumers.
