↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 60%
Amends child abuse/neglect statutes to treat a pregnant person's illegal controlled substance use as potential child abuse or neglect (with treatment-based exemptions), which applies the concept of the fetus as a child subject to abuse protections.
A professional providing prenatal, mental health, or other medical care to a person who voluntarily discloses to the professional that the person illegally used a controlled substance, as defined by Chapter 481, Health and Safety Code, during pregnancy is not required to make a report under this section if:
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates exemptions from mandatory reporting and DFPS investigation of prenatal controlled substance use as child abuse/neglect when the pregnant person is in or completes treatment and poses no immediate risk; this expands parental rights by reducing state interventions that could lead to custody or support actions. It also substantively treats exposure of a fetus to illegal substances as potential child abuse, which is a fetal-personhood provision that restricts abortion access even though it exempts compliant mothers from reporting.
