H.B. No. 3410 is a legislative bill aimed at regulating abortion and related matters while repealing certain existing laws that prohibit abortion. The bill introduces new provisions in the Government Code, specifically Section 311.037, which clarifies that statutes regulating or prohibiting abortion cannot be interpreted to prevent individuals from assisting others in traveling to obtain an abortion or to impose penalties on pregnant individuals undergoing the procedure. Additionally, it specifies that such statutes apply only to fertilized eggs or embryos implanted in a uterus and do not cover deaths resulting from involuntary miscarriages following assisted reproductive technologies.

The bill also amends several sections of the Health and Safety Code and the Occupations Code, including changes to the enforcement of abortion regulations and the requirements for physicians providing abortion-inducing drugs. Notably, it raises the gestational age limit for administering such drugs from 49 to 70 days. Furthermore, it repeals multiple sections of existing law, including those related to civil remedies and enforcement actions against abortion providers. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
