S.B. No. 1528 proposes an amendment to the Human Resources Code, specifically by adding Section 40.084, which establishes a reimbursement policy for employees of the Department of Family and Protective Services. The new section allows the department to reimburse current or former employees for loss or damage to their personal property that occurs as a result of actions by a client while the employee is performing their official duties. This measure aims to provide financial support to employees who may face property loss in the course of their work.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, should it be enacted. The introduction of this reimbursement policy reflects a commitment to supporting the workforce of the Department of Family and Protective Services by acknowledging the potential risks they face in their roles.
