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 provision allows for the reimbursement of present 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 reimbursement will be facilitated using existing departmental resources.

The bill aims to provide financial protection for employees who may face property loss or damage in the course of their work, thereby supporting their roles within the department. If enacted, this legislation will take effect on September 1, 2025.
