Senate Bill 1057 amends the Government Code and Texas Probate Code to specify that the clerk of the county having venue over a proceeding for the appointment of a guardian is not required to obtain criminal history record information for a person who holds a certificate or provisional certificate to provide guardianship services in Texas if the Guardianship Certification Board conducted a criminal history check on the person before issuing or renewing the certificate. The bill requires the board to provide to the clerk at the court's request the criminal history record information that was obtained from the Department of Public Safety or the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The bill provides for the confidentiality of information obtained as authorized by its provisions.
