The bill, titled "An Act relating to family support services provided under a Health and Human Services Commission program," amends the Health and Safety Code to establish the Thriving Texas Families Program as a continuation of the alternatives to abortion program. It aims to create a statewide support network that offers community outreach, consultation, and care coordination for women facing unexpected pregnancies, as well as life-affirming alternatives to abortion, including pregnancy, adoption, and family support services. The bill introduces new definitions, such as "abortion services provider," "affiliate," "governmental entity," "network contractor," and "program," which clarify the roles and relationships of various entities involved in the program.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that service providers must not be associated with abortion services and outlines specific requirements for their operation, including annual certification of compliance with the program's life-affirming mission. It prohibits the use of program funding for any abortion-related services and establishes eligibility criteria for organizations seeking funding, ensuring they do not have ties to abortion providers. The bill also mandates the Health and Human Services Commission to seek input from network providers on performance indicators and requires periodic reporting on outcomes. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
