Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
More pregnancy and housing help for families
Beginning September 1, 2025, the Thriving Texas Families Program expands support for unexpected pregnancies, adoption, parenting, and families. Services include counseling, health care coordination, job and money skills classes, and referrals for child care, transportation, and public benefits. The network also provides pregnancy and infant supplies, such as diapers, formula, car seats, and cribs. Participants get help finding and applying for stable housing services, separate from temporary housing already covered by the program. The law sets no dollar benefit and does not guarantee housing approval.
Family support network bars certain services
Beginning September 1, 2025, Texas's health commission and Thriving Texas Families contractors cannot provide family-planning or abortion-related services through the network. People seeking those services cannot get them through this program. This restriction does not itself ban those services outside the network.
Stricter rules for family support providers
Beginning September 1, 2025, Thriving Texas Families providers must stay legally and operationally separate from abortion-service providers. They cannot provide, refer for, recommend, promote, or advocate abortion services. Banned ties include contracts, money transfers, shared staff or board members, and use of abortion providers' names or trademarks. These rules also cover providers involved in abortion-drug referrals, abortion travel, or abortion-related information and education. Each contractor and provider must certify in writing every year that it supports the program's life-affirming mission and avoids activities against that goal.
