Relating to certain requirements regarding a contract between a single source continuum contractor and the Department of Family and Protective Services.
SB 2032 modifies Texas Family Code requirements for contracts between the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and single source continuum contractors. It shortens the notice period for early contract termination: contractors must provide 60 days' notice (down from 180), and DFPS must provide 30 days' notice (down from 180). The bill allows DFPS to immediately contract with a new provider during termination without following standard competitive bidding rules under Government Code or Human Resources Code. This directly affects contractors providing continuum services to DFPS and streamlines the transition process when contracts end early. The law took effect September 1, 2025.
