Relating to the repeal of certain laws prohibiting abortion.
SB 308 repeals Texas laws that prohibited abortion, specifically repealing Chapter 170A of the Health and Safety Code and Chapter 6-1/2 of the Revised Statutes (the current state abortion ban). The bill clarifies that these changes do not legalize prohibited abortion conduct, allow lawsuits against pregnant individuals seeking abortions, or limit remedies for violations of other abortion laws. It also ensures local governments can enforce stricter abortion regulations than the state. The bill takes effect immediately if passed by a two-thirds vote in both chambers, otherwise on September 1, 2025.
