Senate Bill 1406 amends Family Code provisions relating to the child safety check alert list maintained by the Department of Public Safety (DPS) as part of the Texas Crime Information Center. The bill establishes the circumstances under which the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) must notify DPS concerning an abused or neglected child or the child's family who is missing, removes the requirement that DFPS pursue certain legal action before the child or the child's family may be placed on the alert list, and revises the information that must be included in the alert list.
