HB 2831 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the collection of reproductive health information; imposing a civil penalty.

HB 2831 would create new rules for businesses providing reproductive health services (like clinics or hospitals offering abortion care, contraception, or pregnancy testing) regarding how they handle patient data. It defines "collect" broadly to include tracking online activity or geofencing near facilities, and sets penalties for violating these rules. The bill specifically targets how reproductive health information - such as medical history, treatments, or medications - is gathered and used. It does not apply to research conducted under existing privacy laws with proper ethical oversight. The bill is currently under review in the Public Health committee.
