H.B. No. 754 is a legislative act aimed at enhancing human trafficking prevention measures within certain health care facilities in Texas. The bill introduces Chapter 328 to the Health and Safety Code, which mandates that facilities display a sign detailing the requirements for human trafficking prevention training for health care practitioners and medical assistants. This sign must include information on recognizing and reporting human trafficking, a designated phone number for reporting suspected trafficking, and must be posted in multiple languages. Additionally, the bill prohibits discrimination or retaliation against employees who report suspected human trafficking incidents.

The bill also establishes Chapter 763, which focuses on required training for medical assistants regarding human trafficking. Medical assistants must complete an approved training course on identifying and assisting victims of human trafficking within a specified timeframe. The executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission is tasked with approving these training courses, ensuring at least one is available at no cost, and maintaining an updated list of approved courses on the commission's website. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
