Requires in-person physical exam by a Texas physician before providing an abortion-inducing drug, so less medication abortion access via telemedicine or out-of-state providers.
A physician may not provide to a pregnant woman an abortion-inducing drug unless the physician is physically present in this state and examines the woman in person at the time the physician provides the drug to the woman.

↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Applies Texas medical practice rules to out-of-state physicians providing consultation for abortion-inducing drugs, barring those consultations unless in-person requirements are met, so more regulation of medication abortion providers.
This section applies to a consultation service described by Subsection (b)(1), (2), or (3) if the service is the provision of an abortion-inducing drug, as defined by Section 171.061, Health and Safety Code.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds in-person exam and physical-presence requirements for physicians providing abortion-inducing drugs (medication abortion) and extends Texas licensing rules to out-of-state consultations involving such drugs.
