Bill adding abortion reporting requirements on path to governor's desk

Published on August 11, 2017 under CommunityImpact

A bill that would require physicians and health care facilities to report more details on abortion complications to the state — and would fine those that do not comply — has now passed both chambers of the Texas Legislature. The measure, which covers one of Gov. Greg Abbott‘s three abortion-related priorities, passed the Senate on a 22-9 vote Thursday. After a final vote in the Senate, it will head to the governor’s desk. (Update, Aug. 11: The bill got a final vote and now heads to the governor’s desk.)Via Texas Tribune
