↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 90%
Requires in-person physician exam before mailing abortion-inducing drugs to Texas addresses, so less access to medication abortion without an office visit.
A person may not sell or otherwise distribute through an Internet website an abortion-inducing drug for delivery by courier, mail service, or another delivery method to an address in this state unless the person obtains from the patient requesting the drug verification of a physician in this state prescribing the drug to the patient following an in-person medical examination.

↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Imposes new verification and in-person exam requirements on providers selling or distributing abortion pills via internet to Texas, so more regulation of medication abortion providers.
A person may not sell or otherwise distribute through an Internet website an abortion-inducing drug for delivery by courier, mail service, or another delivery method to an address in this state unless the person obtains from the patient requesting the drug verification of a physician in this state prescribing the drug to the patient following an in-person medical examination.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new section to the Health and Safety Code that specifically restricts internet sales and distribution of abortion-inducing drugs to Texas addresses by requiring verification of an in-person physician exam; it also treats violations as a deceptive trade practice and excludes this section from the general state-jail-felony penalty. This directly limits access to medication abortion and adds regulatory requirements on providers, with no provisions expanding access or affecting other listed topics.
