The bill, H.B. No. 1426, introduces a new provision to the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure that prohibits the issuance or enforcement of search warrants, subpoenas, or other court orders related to menstrual health data. Specifically, it defines "menstrual health data" as any information regarding an individual's menstrual health or cycles, regardless of the format in which it is recorded. The bill explicitly states that a magistrate cannot issue any legal orders for the search or seizure of this data, and law enforcement agencies are barred from enforcing such orders.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any menstrual health data obtained in violation of this new provision, along with any expert testimony related to that data, will be deemed inadmissible in criminal proceedings. This legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, reinforcing the protection of individuals' menstrual health information from legal scrutiny.
