Relating to a restriction on the sale or distribution of an abortion-inducing drug through an Internet website.
HB 95 prohibits selling or distributing abortion-inducing drugs via internet websites to addresses in Texas unless the seller verifies a physician in Texas prescribed the drug following an in-person medical exam. This directly affects patients seeking medication abortion and online pharmacies or delivery services operating in Texas. The law requires sellers to confirm a valid in-person physician prescription before shipping drugs by mail, courier, or other delivery methods. Violations are classified as deceptive trade practices under Texas law, subject to civil penalties. The bill applies only to sales occurring after its effective date.
