House Bill 2764 amends the Human Resources Code to provide for a cap on the hours of caregiver training required before the Department of Family and Protective Services or a child‑placing agency verifies or approves the caregiver as a foster or adoptive home. The bill requires the Health and Human Services Commission to create and implement a process to simplify, streamline, and provide for greater flexibility in the application of certain minimum standards relating to licensed child‑placing agencies, agency foster homes, and adoptive homes with the goal of increasing the number of foster and adoptive homes in Texas.
