Senate Bill 910 amends the Family Code to require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to study and develop a comprehensive list of options for implementing family preservation services in existing catchment areas, including contracting with single source continuum contractors to provide services and procuring service providers through a competitive bidding process. The bill authorizes DFPS to enter into any contracts that DFPS determines necessary to comply with the study of options for implementing those services. Implementation of a provision of this bill by DFPS is mandatory only if a specific appropriation is made for that purpose.
