Relating to the regulation of child-care facilities and registered family homes, including the provision of services to children with disabilities or special needs.

SB 2071 amends Texas law governing child-care facilities and registered family homes to strengthen protections for children with disabilities or special needs. The bill adds specific rules requiring facilities to promote inclusive practices and integrate these children into general activities, while also establishing strict conditions under which they may deny services (only if accommodations would pose an undue burden, direct threat, or fundamentally alter operations under federal ADA guidelines). It directly affects licensed child-care centers, group homes, and registered family homes by mandating new standards for health, safety, and accessibility. The law aims to ensure these facilities comply with federal disability protections while maintaining operational feasibility.
