SB 1670 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the provision of certain information to a county child welfare board member.

SB 1670 amends Texas law to clarify that county child welfare board members may access certain confidential information (like health or safety records) when acting in their official role. The bill requires the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to provide requested confidential information to the board's presiding officer within a reasonable time after receiving the request. This change directly affects county child welfare board members and the department, streamlining access to critical data for their decision-making. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not alter existing confidentiality protections.
