Senate Bill 2260 repeals the Human Resources Code provision that requires an adult protective services supervisor of the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to review and take certain other action regarding a reported case of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an elderly person, a person with a disability, or an individual receiving services from certain providers if DFPS has received and investigated two previous such reports with respect to the same victim and closed those investigations.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "This bill purports to repeal the requirement for Adult Protective Services supervisors to review cases in which recidivism is a factor, but it is simply not as important as cutting property taxes. At this time, the legislature must concentrate on delivering property tax cuts to Texans. This bill can be reconsidered at a future special session only after property tax relief is passed."
