IN RE:
HB2969 by Cook (Relating to prohibiting a maximum age or age differential for prospective adoptive parents.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would prohibit the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), a single source continuum contractor, or a child placing agency from implementing a maximum age for a prospective adoptive parent and maximum age differential between a child and a prospective adoptive parent. 

It is assumed any costs to DFPS could be absorbed within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
