HB 5310 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the repeal of certain laws regulating abortion and the construction of abortion statutes.

HB 5310 repeals specific Texas laws governing abortion regulations, including provisions from the Health and Safety Code, Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and Revised Statutes. It removes the state commission's authority to enforce certain abortion-related rules (like Chapter 170A and Subchapter H of Chapter 171) and instead directs that Subchapter H be enforced solely through private civil lawsuits. The bill directly affects abortion providers, patients, and legal frameworks governing abortion access in Texas by eliminating state enforcement mechanisms. It takes effect on September 1, 2025.
