Relating to an exemption from the definition of abortion for treatment provided for a miscarriage.

HB 2423 clarifies that medical treatment for miscarriage or suspected miscarriage is not considered an abortion under Texas law. The bill amends the Health and Safety Code to explicitly exempt such treatment from the legal definition of abortion, which previously could have been interpreted as requiring a medical exemption. This change directly affects healthcare providers who treat miscarriages, ensuring they can provide standard care without triggering abortion-related legal restrictions. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and aligns with established medical practices for managing miscarriages.
