IN RE: | HB1113 by Turner (Relating to prohibitions on and reporting research on children within the juvenile probation system.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend Human Resources Code, Chapter 141, Subchapter C to restrict the Juvenile Probation Commission from permitting medical, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic research to be conducted on a child in the juvenile probation system. This bill would not affect survey research or retrospective studies based solely on medical records, claims data or outcome data. The Juvenile Probation Commission (JPC) would be required to maintain records relating to youth in the probation system that participated in research programs or studies. JPC would be required to regularly submit a report of the information in the records to the governor and the legislature. JPC anticipates the bill would have no significant fiscal impact to the State.
