Relating to the duties of the Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee and the collection, maintenance, and disclosure of maternal health records regarding miscarriage and lack of access to therapeutic termination of pregnancy.

SB 737 expands the duties of Texas' Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee to specifically study pregnancy-related deaths and severe maternal complications linked to miscarriage, threatened miscarriage, or lack of access to abortion. It requires health departments to collect and share aggregated data on these cases, including deaths related to abortion access barriers. The bill explicitly allows health records related to miscarriage or abortion access issues to be collected and shared for review purposes, while prohibiting the collection of routine abortion records under this law. This affects the committee, health departments, and medical providers who handle maternal health data.
