House Bill 2630 amends the Family Code and Human Resources Code to require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to develop and implement a five-year strategic plan for prevention and early intervention services and issue a new strategic plan every five years. The bill requires a DFPS parenting education program to be an evidence-based program or a promising practice program and, if available, be provided in the community in which a family resides, establishes requirements for the evaluation of evidence-based parenting education, and provides for a DFPS report on state-funded parenting education programs. The bill provides for the funding of evidence-based and promising practice programs and repeals the infant mortality prevention education program.
