Texas limits public abortion assistance
Beginning September 1, 2025, Texas governments cannot make covered public-resource transactions with abortion providers, their affiliates, or abortion assistance entities. The restrictions cover transactions for abortion or abortion assistance. Providers include anyone who performs or induces abortions, not just licensed facilities. Assistance includes abortion payments, travel help, child care, doula services, and collecting or distributing abortion-inducing drugs to increase access. Governments also cannot fund child care, transportation, lodging, food, abortion-encouraging counseling, or other services expressly to help obtain abortions or abortion-provider services. A federal-law exception applies to the extent federal law controls, as determined by the state health commission’s executive commissioner and confirmed in writing by the attorney general.
Lawsuits target prohibited government abortion spending
Beginning September 1, 2025, the Texas attorney general can sue over actual or proposed government transactions or spending that violate these bans. The woman seeking or obtaining an abortion cannot be sued under this enforcement provision. Courts can declare violations, stop prohibited activities, order repayment of the value provided, and award court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. Governments cannot claim immunity from the liability this law creates. Courts cannot award costs or attorney’s fees under Texas civil Rule 91a or future similar rules. Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapters 27 and 110 also do not apply. If part of the law is struck down, its remaining provisions and applications stay effective.
