Relating to the purchase and use of contraceptives and access to contraceptive information.

HB 653 prohibits Texas state and local governments from restricting the purchase, use, or access to information about contraceptives - including emergency contraceptives. The bill defines "contraceptive" and "emergency contraceptive" under new Health and Safety Code provisions, ensuring individuals can obtain these services without government interference. It directly affects Texas residents seeking contraceptive care or information, particularly in public health contexts. The law takes effect on September 1, 2025, and applies to all state and local governmental entities.
