H.B. No. 1943 amends the Human Resources Code to establish new compensation guidelines for the members of the Winkler County Juvenile Board. The bill specifies that the commissioners court shall pay juvenile board members additional annual compensation, the amount of which will be determined by the court, rather than a fixed amount of $1,200 as previously stated. This compensation will be distributed in equal monthly installments from the county's general fund. Additionally, the bill clarifies that certain sections of the code, specifically Sections 152.0002, 152.0003, 152.0004, 152.0005, 152.0006, 152.0007, and 152.0008, do not apply to the juvenile board of Winkler County.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing for the new compensation structure to be implemented. The changes aim to provide more flexibility in determining compensation for board members, reflecting the additional duties they undertake.
