Relating to the exchange of certain information between the Department of Family and Protective Services or certain foster care services contractors and a state or local juvenile justice agency.
HB 1825 requires the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) or its foster care contractors to share specific information with juvenile justice agencies upon request. It mandates sharing details about children who have been in foster care, involved in abuse/neglect investigations, or had parental rights terminated. Juvenile justice agencies will receive confirmation of foster care history and the number of prior foster care placements for youth in their custody. This law applies only to requests made on or after the bill's effective date, aiming to improve coordination between child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
