Nate Schatzline, a member of the Texas House of Representatives, announced on July 20, 2025, that he has filed two bills for an upcoming special legislative session. In a post made at 01:14 UTC, Schatzline stated, “Breaking: I have filed 2 bills for the special session starting on Monday
HB 94 BANS taxpayer funded lobbying
HB 95 BANS the dangerous & inhumane distribution of the abortion pill
Let’s GET TO WORK https://t.co/jpL57thd1v“.
Later that morning, Schatzline posted about relocating headquarters to Texas. At 02:49 UTC, he wrote, “Moving our HQ to Texas https://t.co/M2LpjqZSyA”.
In another post later that day at 17:40 UTC, Schatzline reiterated his stance on one of the proposed bills. He stated, “THIS! We have an opportunity to BAN the inhumane and dangerous abortion pill! That’s why I have filed HB 95! Let’s GET IT DONE #txlege https://t.co/eB74pFpn0a”.
The filing of these bills comes as part of a broader trend within Texas politics to restrict access to abortion medication and limit government-funded lobbying efforts. Previous legislative sessions in Texas have seen similar proposals regarding abortion pills and lobbying restrictions.
