No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Family Code to require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to verbally notify the alleged perpetrator that they may request an administrative review of DFPS's findings and require DFPS to document the notice.
It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to notifying an alleged perpetrator of child abuse or neglect of the person's right to request an administrative review of the department's findings after an investigation by DFPS could be absorbed using existing resources.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2021.
