Senate Bill No. 1923 proposes amendments to Section 156.409 of the Family Code regarding the modification of child support orders. The bill allows a court to modify a support order if a party or person with physical possession of the child has had that possession for at least six months and meets certain conditions, such as voluntarily relinquishing care, being incarcerated for at least 90 days, or entering into specific agreements related to child safety placements. The bill also introduces new provisions that prioritize motions for modification based on parental child safety placement agreements and establishes requirements for temporary orders related to these modifications.

Additionally, the bill outlines the procedures for serving notice of modification motions, allowing for service via email through an electronic filing system. It specifies that any modifications made under this act will only apply to motions filed after the effective date of the law, which is set for September 1, 2025. The changes aim to streamline the process for modifying child support orders while ensuring that the best interests of the child are prioritized.
