Digest
HB 3453 limits the liability of nonprofit entities contracted with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services or a single source continuum contractor to provide foster care or adoption services. The bill shields these organizations from damages exceeding state law limitations if they meet specific requirements, including conducting background checks, reporting misconduct, and providing training on child abuse prevention. However, nonprofits can still be held liable for gross negligence or if they fail to comply with safety requirements​.
