The bill, H.B. No. 754, aims to enhance human trafficking prevention measures within certain health care facilities in Texas. It introduces Chapter 328 to the Health and Safety Code, which mandates that facilities display a sign detailing the requirement for health care practitioners and medical assistants to undergo human trafficking prevention training. The sign must also inform employees of their rights against discrimination or retaliation for reporting suspected human trafficking. Additionally, the bill prohibits facilities from disciplining employees who report such incidents in good faith.

Furthermore, the bill establishes Chapter 763, which requires medical assistants to complete a training course approved by the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission on identifying and assisting victims of human trafficking. The executive commissioner is tasked with approving training courses, including at least one free option, and maintaining an updated list of these courses on the commission's website. The provisions of this bill are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
