Relating to access to certain information in the adoption process.

HB 2144 requires Texas adoption agencies and the Department of Family and Protective Services to provide prospective adoptive parents with access to a child's non-confidential health, social, educational, and genetic history before adoption placement. The bill mandates that agencies redact social security numbers and protect the identities of biological parents, siblings, and others whose information is confidential under existing law. Prospective adoptive parents must sign a nondisclosure agreement before receiving this information, and agencies must provide it within 90 days of a request. The bill applies directly to adoptive parents and adoption agencies, streamlining access to relevant child history while maintaining confidentiality protections.
