| IN RE: | SB291 by Nelson (Relating to criminal history record information for certain guardianship services and to lists of certain public guardians.), As Engrossed |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Sections 697A (b) and (c) and Section 698, Subsections (a), (b), and (d) and add Subsections, (a-1), (b-1), (c-1), and (f) of the Texas Probate Code, and Section 411.1386, Government Code SB 291, requiring the Department of Aging and Disability Services to obtain criminal history information on individuals who provide or will provide guardianship services and distribution of that information to the Guardian Certification Board.
DADS indicates that the agency already performs or secures criminal background checks on individuals who provide or will provide guardianship services. Therefore, no significant fiscal impact is anticipated.
