Relating to an exception to certain reporting requirements for health care providers reviewing selected cases for the Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee.

HB 713 exempts healthcare providers (including nurses) from certain mandatory reporting requirements when they review cases for the Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee. The bill adds Section 34.0085 to the Health and Safety Code, stating that providers do not need to report profession-related conduct they learn about during these committee case reviews. This applies only to information gathered specifically for the committee's review process, not to other situations. The law took effect immediately upon the governor's signature on June 20, 2025.
