House Bill 1914 amends the Human Resources Code to require the Children's Trust Fund of Texas Council to provide grants for voluntary, community-based early parenting skills programs in at least three areas of the state, subject to availability of funds. To be eligible, a program must serve expectant parents and families with one or more children three years of age or younger. The council is required to review the programs periodically to ensure that the instruction and materials are not racially, culturally, or sexually biased and to report to the governor and legislative leaders regarding the extent to which training on child abuse and neglect is provided in the state.
