Committee substitute that says pregnancy centers may refer a woman to another clinic or hospital when she request contraception
HB 3194 prohibits any requirements that pregnancy centers offer or refer for abortions, abortion-inducing drugs, or contraception, or placing restrictions on what pregnancy, parenting, adoption, or prenatal services they can provide.
It also preserves a center’s ability to hire staff who agree with its mission. Centers can sue and recover damages if any government entity violates the provisions of the bill.
Effective November 1, 2026.
