Senate Bill 569 amends the Human Resources Code to transfer regulatory authority concerning certain child‑care facilities from the Department of Family and Protective Services to the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and to require the executive commissioner of HHSC to adopt minimum standards for listed family homes. The bill sets out requirements for a listed family home to maintain liability insurance coverage and provides for notice requirements for a listed family home that is unable to secure a policy or contract. Implementation of a provision of this bill by HHSC is mandatory only if a specific appropriation is made for that purpose.
