The bill S.B. No. 1801 proposes changes to the composition and terms of the Moore County Juvenile Board. It amends the Human Resources Code to specify that the board will now consist of the county judge, the judge of the County Court at Law of Moore County, and between three to five additional members appointed by the Moore County Commissioners Court. This replaces the previous requirement of six appointed members. Additionally, the bill allows for the appointed members to serve two-year terms, with the possibility of extending a member's term for up to two years at the discretion of the Commissioners Court.
Furthermore, the bill clarifies that certain sections of the Human Resources Code, specifically Sections 152.0002 through 152.0006, will not apply to the juvenile board of Moore County, which streamlines the governance of the board. The changes are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
Statutes affected: Introduced: Human Resources Code 152.1771 (Human Resources Code 152)
