Legislative Bill Description and Monitoring (HB 3859)

Order Description

(HB 3859 –
https://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=85R&Bill=HB3859) that prioritizes providers over kids in the child welfare system by allowing an adult involved in child welfare to claim religious freedom as a reason to not provide services. It\’s largely aimed at allowing those groups who oppose abortion or same sex marriage to refuse care to kids or discriminate against couples. Private agencies have this right, but we believe if you contract with the state and take public dollars you should not be able to discriminate.

Paper should address the following items:

1. A general description of the bill and its target population (what macros system would be impacted by its passage)
2. The reason the bill was introduced (enhancing a community, strengthening a system, etc.)
3. The specific community or population affected by the bill (address those that could be affected positively and negatively)
4. If the bill passes, what positive outcomes might you expect?
5. If the bill does not pass, what are the negative outcomes you might expect?
