Relating to a screening for the risk of commercial sexual exploitation of certain children.

SB 941 requires Texas child welfare and juvenile justice systems to screen children for risk of commercial sexual exploitation. Specifically, it mandates that children entering state conservatorship (foster care) receive a screening using a validated tool within 45 days, and juvenile probation departments must include this screening in risk assessments before case dispositions. Both screenings must use a tool selected by the Child Sex Trafficking Prevention Unit under Government Code Section 772.0062. The bill affects children in state care and those under juvenile probation supervision, taking effect September 1, 2025.
