Texas HB2789 amends child welfare regulations, including licensure, community-based care, family homes, and child-care facilities.

Texas HB2789 amends the Human Resources Code to regulate child welfare, including licensure, community-based care, family homes, and child-care facilities. It sets requirements for child-placing agency administrators, including educational and experiential qualifications. It also mandates that listed family homes maintain liability insurance coverage of $100,000 for each occurrence of negligence. The bill exempts single source continuum contractors from obtaining a child-placing agency license but requires them to prioritize child safety.
