Relating to family support services provided under a Health and Human Services Commission program.

HB 5285 establishes the Thriving Texas Families Program under the Health and Human Services Commission to provide community support services for individuals with unexpected pregnancies. The bill requires that service providers funded through this program cannot be associated with, refer for, or provide abortion-related services as defined in the bill (including referrals for abortion-inducing drugs or travel facilitation). It mandates the commission to create a statewide network offering pregnancy support, adoption assistance, and parenting resources as alternatives to abortion. This program continues a previous "alternatives to abortion" initiative while restricting funding to providers without ties to abortion services.
