House Bill 3374 amends the Health and Safety Code to require the Department of State Health Services to make certain information regarding Down syndrome available. The information may not present pregnancy termination as an option when a prenatal test result indicates that the unborn child has Down syndrome. The bill requires a health care provider who administers a test for Down syndrome or who diagnoses a child with Down syndrome to provide the information to a parent or expectant parent who receives a test result indicating a child or unborn child may have Down syndrome.
