Relating to the establishment of the Texas Adoption Assistance Program.

SB 327 establishes the Texas Adoption Assistance Program to help adoptive parents cover adoption-related costs. The program allows certified non-profit organizations (meeting IRS 501(c)(3) requirements) to collect donations and distribute funds to eligible adoptive parents for expenses like legal fees or travel. Certified organizations must undergo annual audits and partner with the state to ensure funds are used for adoption costs. This directly affects adoptive parents of Texas children who qualify under the program's criteria.
