↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 70%
Imposes licensing-like minimum standards, equivalent ambulatory surgical center rules, and on-site OB/GYN requirement on pregnancy resource centers that do not perform or refer for abortions, increasing regulatory burden on these non-abortion providers.
The minimum standards must: (1) protect the health and safety of a patient of a pregnancy resource center; (2) contain provisions equivalent to the requirements of Subchapter B, Chapter 171, but applicable to the provision of pregnancy services; and (3) contain provisions equivalent to the minimum standards for ambulatory surgical centers adopted under Section 243.010.

=No change to abortion accessmodel confidence 60%
Defines and imposes state regulation specifically on pregnancy resource centers that explicitly do not perform abortions or make referrals to abortion providers and do not provide comprehensive birth control services.
"pregnancy resource center" means an organization, including a pregnancy counseling organization, crisis pregnancy center, pregnancy care center, and pregnancy support center, that for a fee or free of charge provides pregnancy counseling or information but: (1) does not perform abortions or make referrals to an abortion provider; (2) does not provide or make referrals for comprehensive birth control services;
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new regulatory chapter imposing minimum health and safety standards, equivalent abortion-facility and surgical-center rules, and mandatory on-site specialist presence specifically on pregnancy resource centers defined by their refusal to provide or refer for abortions or birth control. This adds regulatory obligations to non-abortion providers (restricts under provider-clinic-regulation). The definition and targeted rules also touch abortion/other in a neutral way as they do not change abortion access itself.
