The bill amends Section 152.1901(b) of the Human Resources Code regarding the leadership structure of the juvenile board in Parker County. Specifically, it establishes that the juvenile board will elect one of its members to serve as the chairman, replacing the previous provision that designated the judge of the 43rd Judicial District as the chairman of the board.
This change aims to provide the juvenile board with more autonomy in selecting its leadership, allowing for a member-elected chairman rather than a position automatically held by the district judge. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
Statutes affected: Introduced: Human Resources Code 152.1901 (Human Resources Code 152)
