Relating to the prohibited report or disclosure of certain health information by physicians and other health care providers.

SB 1159 prohibits physicians and other healthcare providers from reporting or disclosing to law enforcement any information about a patient who experienced a miscarriage, obtained an abortion, or is suspected of having done either. This law directly affects patients seeking reproductive healthcare and healthcare providers who treat them. The bill creates a new legal restriction under the Health and Safety Code, making such disclosures a violation enforceable through disciplinary actions by licensing boards. It does not restrict medical care or reporting to other healthcare entities, only disclosure to police or law enforcement agencies.
