Relating to an exemption from abortion restrictions for unemancipated minors and the repeal of provisions regarding notice and consent to those abortions.

HB 2651 creates a new exemption allowing physicians to perform abortions on unemancipated minors (minors under 18 who aren't legally independent) without requiring parental consent or judicial approval, as long as the minor consents. It repeals existing requirements for parental notice and consent for these abortions under Texas law. The bill also removes restrictions on providing abortion-inducing drugs to such minors when a physician deems it medically appropriate based on gestational age and safety. This directly affects unemancipated minors seeking abortion care and their healthcare providers by removing legal barriers to consent-based abortion access.
