Bill > SB1930

This bill amends the Family Code to establish additional requirements and procedures regarding the placement of children in residential treatment centers or qualified residential treatment programs by the Department of Family and Protective Services. Key provisions include requiring guardians ad litem and attorneys ad litem to review information about the appropriateness of such placements, participate in placement conferences, and make recommendations to the court. The bill also requires the court to determine whether continued placement in a residential treatment center or qualified residential treatment program is appropriate based on factors such as whether the child's needs can be met through a less restrictive setting and whether the placement is consistent with the child's permanency plan.

Health and Social Services, Justice
