Adds exceptions to the general abortion prohibition for cases of future infertility, non-viable pregnancy, or pregnancies resulting from sexual assault or related offenses, so more legal access to abortion in those circumstances.
It is an exception to the application of Subsection (a) that: (1) in the exercise of reasonable medical judgment, a physician determines the abortion is necessary to prevent future infertility of the pregnant individual or because the pregnancy is not viable; or (2) the pregnancy resulted from sexual assault in violation of Section 22.011, Penal Code, aggravated sexual assault in violation of Section 22.021, Penal Code, or conduct constituting an offense under Section 25.02, Penal Code.

↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Amends multiple provisions of the Texas Heartbeat Act and related statutes to expand exceptions, repeal the old total ban, and update cross-references, resulting in overall fewer restrictions on abortion access.
relating to exceptions to and the repeal of certain laws prohibiting abortion.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds new exceptions to Texas's post-Dobbs abortion prohibition (for infertility risk, non-viable pregnancy, and pregnancies from sexual assault), repeals the pre-Roe total ban in Chapter 6-1/2 of Title 71, and makes conforming changes that remove references to the repealed ban while preserving the current framework's other prohibitions. All substantive provisions expand legal access to abortion by carving out more situations where it is allowed and eliminating an older total prohibition; no provisions restrict access or add new limits.
