Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton recently announced a lawsuit against the Biden-Harris Administration, claiming new foster care rules infringe upon state sovereignty and impose significant economic burdens on Texas.
The 'Designated Placement Requirements Under Titles IV-E and IV-B for LGBTQI+ Children' requires foster care agencies to prioritize placements that affirm a child's LGBTQ+ identity, impacting their operational practices.
Paxton's allegations suggest that the final rule conflicts with Texas state laws regarding gender-affirming care, asserting that it could lead to compliance costs and harm Texas's sovereign rights.
The new rule effectively safeguards LGBTQ+ children from discrimination in foster care placements and ensures they are not forcibly outed to potential caregivers, creating a more protective legal environment.
