S.B. No. 33 amends the Government Code to prohibit certain transactions and logistical support between governmental entities and abortion assistance entities or abortion providers. The bill introduces a new definition for "abortion assistance entity," which includes individuals or organizations that facilitate access to abortions through various means, such as financial support for abortion costs, travel arrangements, and logistical services like child care. Additionally, it specifies that governmental entities are barred from entering into taxpayer resource transactions with abortion providers or abortion assistance entities for the purpose of providing abortions or related assistance.

The bill also establishes a new section that explicitly prohibits governmental entities from providing logistical support for procuring abortions, which encompasses a range of services including child care, transportation, lodging, and counseling that encourages abortion. The attorney general is granted the authority to take legal action against parties involved in prohibited transactions, with provisions for recovering costs and attorney's fees. Furthermore, the bill waives sovereign immunity for governmental entities in relation to these violations. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
