HB 1219 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to prioritization of a pregnant individual's health when providing health care treatments; authorizing an administrative penalty.

HB 1219 requires healthcare providers in Texas to prioritize a pregnant individual's health over the fetus's health when recommending medical treatments. It ensures patients retain the right to accept or refuse any treatment after giving informed consent, regardless of the provider's recommendation. Healthcare providers who violate this requirement may face administrative penalties similar to those for other licensing violations. The bill directly affects physicians and healthcare practitioners by establishing clear guidelines for medical decision-making during pregnancy.
