Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2313 by Leach (Relating to a required resource access assistance offer before an abortion is performed.), As Introduced
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Health and Human Services Code as it relates to abortion. Under the provisions of the bill, certain resources would be made available to and certain information would be recorded about a woman seeking an abortion.
This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
