SB 661 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the creation of the Office of Youth Health and Safety.

SB 661 would create the Office of Youth Health and Safety within the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement's Office of Forensic Coordination. The office aims to provide trauma-informed services for youth aged 10-18 under juvenile court supervision, supporting their transition to adulthood and community engagement. It establishes a 21-member governing board including commission officials, juvenile justice advocates, mental health experts, youth representatives, and others with relevant experience. The bill, if passed, would formalize this office and its structure but does not change existing laws or impose new requirements on the public.
