The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to establish duties and reporting requirements for the Center for Elimination of Disproportionality and Disparities (Center) at the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). The bill would require the Center to advise each health and human services, education, juvenile justice, child welfare, and mental health agency on the implementation of cultural competency training and to develop partnerships with community groups and agencies to support the delivery of culturally competent services to children and families. The bill would establish requirements that the Center only contract with entities that have been screened, reviewed and approved by the executive commissioner of HHSC.
The bill would amend the composition of the Interagency Council for Addressing Disproportionality. The bill would require the Council to develop and recommend to the executive commissioner a Texas model for addressing disproportionality and disparities in the education, juvenile justice, child welfare, health and mental health systems, and to implement the Texas model statewide. The bill would require the Council to report on the status of implementation of the Texas model to the lieutenant governor, the speaker of the house of representatives, and the legislature by December 1, 2014.
The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house. If not, the bill would take effect September 1, 2013.
