HB 3284 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the creation of the Texas Commission on Marriage and Family.

HB 3284 creates the Texas Commission on Marriage and Family, composed of seven members appointed by the governor, lieutenant governor, and House speaker. The commission must study ways to promote strong marriages and healthy families, identify state policies that discourage marriage or parenting, and make recommendations to the legislature. It requires members to have specific expertise in family law, counseling, child development, or community work supporting families. This procedural bill establishes a study group with no immediate policy changes, focusing instead on research and recommendations to foster an environment supportive of marriage and family formation.
