House Bill 1309 amends the Family Code to revise Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) notification requirements regarding certain medical conditions of a child in DFPS managing conservatorship, a change in the residential child-care facility of such a child, or a significant event affecting such a child. Among other provisions, the bill revises the deadlines for and exceptions to the notification requirements and expands the recipients of notices regarding a residential child-care facility change or other significant event. The bill requires DFPS to provide information concerning the death of a child for whom DFPS has been appointed managing conservator to the state senators and state representatives who represent the county in which the child's placement at the time of the child's death was located and the county in which a suit affecting the parent-child relationship involving the child is pending.
