Relating to the adoption of the revised Interstate Compact for the Placement of Children by the State of Texas; making conforming changes.

SB 1834 adopts the revised Interstate Compact for the Placement of Children into Texas law, updating the Family Code to align with the national standard. This bill directly affects Texas' Department of Family and Protective Services (as the "public child placing agency") and the Health and Human Services Commission, requiring them to follow standardized procedures for interstate child placements. Key provisions include establishing uniform processes for placing children safely across state lines, ensuring ongoing supervision and service coordination between states, and facilitating data sharing. The compact aims to streamline placements while maintaining each state's legal responsibility for children's care, without creating new obligations for Texas.
