Senate Bill 353 amends the Human Resources Code to specify that the exemption from the requirement that an emergency shelter facility providing shelter to certain minors obtain a license issued by the Department of Family and Protective Services to operate a child-care facility or child-placing agency applies to a facility, other than a facility that would otherwise require a license as a child-care facility, that provides shelter or care to a minor and the minor's child or children, if any. The bill conditions such an exemption on the facility being currently under a contract with a state or federal agency or meeting certain contract eligibility requirements for family violence centers.
