AI Summary

This bill prohibits abortion in Texas, except in cases where the pregnant woman's life is at risk or there is a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function. The bill creates a criminal offense for violating the abortion prohibition, with a penalty of a second-degree felony or first-degree felony if the unborn child dies. It also imposes a civil penalty of at least $100,000 per violation, and allows disciplinary action against healthcare providers who perform prohibited abortions. The bill's provisions would take effect 30 days after certain Supreme Court or constitutional decisions that allow states to prohibit abortion.
