Relating to records of violations against certain child-care facilities that provide child-care services.

SB 2563 requires Texas child-care facilities and family homes to have violation records removed from their licensing files if an administrative law judge or court finds the alleged violation did not occur. It also mandates that if a facility requests a hearing and no decision is made within 45 days, the violation record must be removed (except for critical health/safety violations) until a decision is issued. The bill requires administrative law judges to provide detailed reasoning when determining that a violation occurred. This law applies only to cases filed on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025, and directly affects child-care facilities, the Texas Commission on Child Care, and administrative law judges handling these cases.
