## Text

(a) Governing rules. This subchapter sets out rules
 governing the administration of the HHSC Family Planning Program (FPP).
 This program is separate from family planning services provided through
 Medicaid.
(b) Authority. This subchapter is authorized generally
 by Senate Bill 200, 84th Legislature, Regular Session, 2015, which
 transferred client services functions performed by the Texas Department
 of State Health Services to HHSC and required the HHSC Executive Commissioner
 to develop a transition plan which includes an outline of HHSC's reorganized
 structure and a definition of client services functions.
(c) Objectives. FPP is established to achieve the following
 overarching objectives:
(1) to increase access to health and family planning
 services to:
(A) avert unintended pregnancies;
(B) positively affect the outcome of future pregnancies;
 and
(C) positively impact the health and well-being of
 women and their families;
(2) to implement the state policy to favor childbirth
 and family planning services that do not include elective abortion
 or the promotion of elective abortion within the continuum of care
 or services;
(3) to ensure the efficient and effective use of state
 funds in support of these objectives and that state funds are not
 directly or indirectly used to promote or support elective abortion;
(4) to reduce the overall cost of publicly-funded health
 care (including federally-funded health care) by providing low-income
 Texans access to safe, effective services that are consistent with
 these objectives; and
(5) to enforce any state law that regulates the delivery
 of non-federally funded family planning services, to the extent permitted
 by the Constitution of the United States.
