Enrolled Bill Summary
Legislative Session: 79(R)House Bill 802 amends the Family Code to require an employee of the Department of Family and Protective Services who responds to a report of abuse or neglect that is assigned the highest priority to identify forms and other paperwork that can be completed by members of the family of the child who is the subject of the report. The bill directs the employee to request the assistance of those family members in completing the documentation, but specifies that the employee remains responsible for ensuring that the documentation is completed.
