SB 1682 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to exceptions to and the repeal of certain laws prohibiting abortion.

SB 1682 adds two specific exceptions to Texas' abortion restrictions: (1) when a physician determines an abortion is necessary to prevent future infertility or if the pregnancy is non-viable, and (2) when the pregnancy results from aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault under specific Penal Code sections, or conduct violating Section 25.02. It repeals Chapter 6-1/2 of the Revised Statutes, which contains the core abortion ban, while clarifying that other abortion regulations remain in effect. The bill directly affects pregnant individuals in Texas who meet these new exception criteria, allowing abortions under these circumstances without violating the law. The changes take effect September 1, 2025.
