Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1050 amends the Family Code to direct the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services to ensure that a child returns to school not later than the third school day after the date an order is rendered providing for possession of the child by the department, except under certain circumstances. The bill requires the department to notify the school in writing that a child is unable to attend school if the child has a physical or mental condition of a temporary or remediable nature that makes the child's attendance infeasible. The bill amends the Education Code to require a school district to accept a child who is in the possession of the department for enrollment in a public school without the documentation normally required, but directs the department to furnish the documentation within 30 days of the child's enrollment.
