H.B. No. 3200 is a bill that seeks to prohibit governmental entities in Texas from engaging in certain transactions with abortion funds, abortion providers, and entities involved in racketeering activities as defined by federal law. The bill amends Section 2273.001 of the Government Code to include new definitions, such as "abortion fund," which refers to any entity that aids or abets elective abortions and subsidizes their costs. It also introduces the term "elective abortion," distinguishing it from abortions performed due to medical emergencies, and defines "medical emergency" in detail.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 2273.003 to explicitly prohibit taxpayer resource transactions with abortion funds, abortion providers, and affiliates, as well as any entities engaged in racketeering activities. The bill outlines specific types of racketeering activities that would fall under this prohibition, including the use of mail or common carriers for the distribution of abortion-related materials. However, it includes an exception for transactions that are subject to conflicting federal laws, as determined by the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission and confirmed by the attorney general. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
