The bill, S.B. No. 1528, proposes an amendment to the Human Resources Code by adding a new section, 40.084, which allows the Department of Family and Protective Services to reimburse current or former employees for loss or damage to their personal property. This reimbursement is specifically for incidents caused by clients of the department while the employees are performing their official duties. The bill emphasizes that the department will utilize existing resources to facilitate these reimbursements.

The new provision aims to provide financial relief to employees who may experience property loss or damage as a result of their work with clients, thereby supporting the workforce in the Department of Family and Protective Services. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
