The bill, S.B. No. 2306, amends the Family Code by adding a new section, 162.605, which mandates that licensed child-placing agencies provide clear and accessible information regarding adoption costs. Specifically, these agencies are required to post an itemized list of all costs associated with the adoption process on their websites. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and assist prospective adoptive parents in understanding the financial implications of adoption.

The new provision will take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing agencies time to comply with the requirement. By ensuring that detailed cost information is readily available, the bill seeks to promote informed decision-making among individuals considering adoption.
