House Bill 787 is being offered by Republican state Rep. Jared Patterson, who represents a district in the northern Dallas suburbs.

House Bill 787, filed last week ahead of the legislative session that begins in January, was offered by Republican state Rep. Jared Patterson, who represents a district in the northern Dallas suburbs. Patterson didn’t return a request for comment. In March, Citigroup Inc. said it would cover costs for employees who need to travel out of state to get abortions, and companies including Walmart Inc. and Apple Inc. have put in place similar policies, drawing the ire of lawmakers who see them as an attempt to circumvent Texas law.

After Citigroup announced its abortion assistance policy in March, state Rep. Briscoe Cain said he sent a cease-and-desist letter to Chief Executive Officer Jane Fraser, warning that the bank’s officers and employees could face criminal prosecution unless it backs off its policy in Texas.Could Texas’ new heartbeat law lead to lawsuits against companies providing abortion insurance?
