SB 2352 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to prohibiting transporting or funding the transportation of an unemancipated minor for an abortion; providing a civil penalty; creating a criminal offense.

SB 2352 prohibits transporting or funding transportation of unemancipated minors (under 18, unmarried, without parental rights removed) across state lines for abortions without parental written consent. It creates a criminal felony offense (second-degree, or first-degree if the unborn child dies) and imposes a $100,000 civil penalty per violation, enforceable by the attorney general. The bill applies only to abortions performed after its September 1, 2025 effective date and excludes abortions covered under existing Health and Safety Code exceptions. It directly affects minors seeking out-of-state abortions without parental consent and those facilitating such transportation.
