H.B. No. 3748 proposes an amendment to the Human Resources Code, specifically adding Section 40.084, which allows the Department of Family and Protective Services to reimburse current or former employees for loss or damage to personal property incurred while performing their job duties. This new provision aims to provide financial support to employees who may experience property loss in the course of their work.
The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its favorable report by the Senate Committee on Health & Human Services. The reimbursement policy is intended to enhance employee welfare and support those who serve in the department, ensuring they are not financially burdened by incidents related to their professional responsibilities.
