HB 4276 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to eligibility for the Preparation for Adult Living Program for former foster youth.

HB 4276 extends eligibility for Texas' Preparation for Adult Living Program to former foster youth until their 25th birthday, directly affecting youth aging out of foster care. The bill amends the Family Code to require the state department to allow participants to remain in the program until age 25 and return as needed to complete it. Key provisions include removing prior age limits and enabling re-entry for program completion. This change takes effect September 1, 2025, providing continued support for former foster youth transitioning to adulthood.
