Relating to the regulation of limited service pregnancy resource centers; creating a criminal offense; providing a civil penalty.

SB 1684 regulates "limited service pregnancy resource centers" (organizations providing pregnancy counseling but not abortions or birth control referrals). It requires these centers to disclose in writing whether they are licensed facilities or have on-site licensed practitioners, and to include specific disclaimers in all advertising and at their entrances stating they do not provide abortions, birth control, or referrals for those services. The bill prohibits deceptive advertising that implies they offer pregnancy-related health care services and creates criminal penalties for violations, along with civil penalties for non-compliance. This directly affects pregnancy resource centers operating in Texas that do not provide abortion or birth control services.
