House Bill 2886 amends the Health and Safety Code to exempt a physician, nurse, midwife, or other person in attendance at childbirth who is unable to apply the required prophylaxis to prevent ophthalmia neonatorum due to the objection of a newborn infant's parent, managing conservator, or guardian from the offense, other liability, or professional disciplinary action for failure to perform that duty.
