Relating to the provision of information regarding centers for independent living for certain persons with an intellectual or developmental disability.

SB 1966 requires Texas school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to provide informational materials about centers for independent living to parents or legal guardians of children receiving special education services or covered under Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act. These materials, developed by the Health and Human Services Commission, must describe available health and support services at these centers and include their contact information. The bill directly affects parents of children with intellectual or developmental disabilities and school districts. It mandates schools to distribute these resources to help families access community-based support services. The bill is currently pending in the Health & Human Services committee.
