Relating to mandatory criminal history background checks for all adult members of a household in which an individual seeking guardianship resides.

SB 2940 requires criminal history background checks for all adult household members (18+ years old) who live with or regularly interact with someone seeking guardianship in Texas. It directly affects individuals applying for guardianship and any adult living in their household who would provide care or supervision to the person needing guardianship. The bill mandates the Texas Supreme Court to establish rules for these checks and requires the commission to provide completed check results to probate courts at least 10 days before guardianship hearings. This policy change aims to enhance safety checks for vulnerable individuals under guardianship by expanding background review beyond just the applicant.
