House Bill 1556 amends the Education Code and Family Code to revise the qualifications for a foster parent to act as a parent when making special education decisions for a child with a disability who is in the conservatorship of the Department of Family and Protective Services. The bill sets out requirements for a school district or court to appoint a person who is not the foster parent as a surrogate parent for such a child.
