HB 4595 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to prohibition of transporting or funding the transportation of an unemancipated minor for an abortion; providing a civil penalty; creating a criminal offense.

HB 4595 would prohibit transporting or funding the transportation of unemancipated minors (minors under 18 without legal independence) for abortion services, imposing civil penalties and criminal charges for violations. This bill directly affects unemancipated minors seeking abortions, as well as individuals or organizations providing transportation or financial assistance for that purpose. Key provisions include criminalizing both the act of transporting minors and funding such transportation, with penalties ranging from fines to criminal prosecution. The law creates a clear legal barrier for minors under 18 accessing abortion care through transportation support.
