Relating to the chairman of the juvenile board of Parker County.
HB 2589 amends Texas Human Resources Code Section 152.1901(b) to clarify that the chairman of Parker County's juvenile board must be "one of its members" elected by the board, rather than being designated as the "judge of the 43rd Judicial District." This procedural change directly affects Parker County juvenile board members, who will now elect their own chairman from among their peers. The bill updates the statutory language to reflect current practice, removing the reference to a judicial position. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not create new policies or alter juvenile justice services.
