Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
State treatment facilities for eligible youths
Beginning September 1, 2025, the department must designate state facilities for residential treatment of youths with emotional disturbances. This replaces the law's specific designation of the Waco Center for Youth. Eligible youths include those admitted under Subtitle C to a department facility. Another pathway covers youths under the managing conservatorship, or legal care, of the Department of Family and Protective Services. Those youths must be admitted under Subtitle C to a designated state facility.
One-time grants for mental health facilities
Beginning September 1, 2025, the Health and Human Services Commission can award one-time grants directly to entities. Grants support construction, expansion, or operation of certain inpatient mental health facilities. Awards depend on the Texas Legislature appropriating money to the commission for those purposes. The law sets no grant amount and does not guarantee funding.
Free education with local school limits
Beginning September 1, 2025, all residents of designated state treatment facilities must receive appropriate education services without charge. The department pays using money appropriated for those services. Residents who are not residents of the local school district need its superintendent's prior written approval to receive district services. That approval rule does not itself impose a fee or remove the department's duty to provide free education.
