Senate Bill 1021 amends the Government Code to include the commissioner of the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) among the members of the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Executive Council, regardless of whether DFPS continues as a state agency separate from HHSC. The bill changes the deadline by which the executive commissioner of HHSC is required to conduct a study and submit a report and recommendations regarding the continuing need for certain state agencies to the Health and Human Services Transition Legislative Oversight Committee. The bill revises the required components of the study, recommendations, and report and the required components of the committee's subsequent report and recommendations to the legislature. The bill reenacts certain Government Code provisions relating to the Texas system of care framework.
