Bill > HB2263

This bill requires the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, in collaboration with the Department of Information Resources, to develop and maintain a comprehensive, mobile-friendly webpage and potentially a mobile application dedicated to pregnancy-related resources and information. The webpage will provide a wide range of resources and information, including mental health counseling, legal services, financial and housing assistance, health care services, adoption and child care options, and information about alternatives to abortion. The webpage will feature an interactive question-and-answer format that provides personalized information, including details about abortion risks at different stages of pregnancy, and will allow users to search for resources by zip code and county. Users can also provide feedback on the webpage's usability. The mobile application, if developed, would mirror the webpage's functionality. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and aims to create a centralized, user-friendly platform to support pregnant individuals by connecting them with various support services and resources across Texas.
