H.B. No. 5667 amends Section 152.1901(b) of the Human Resources Code regarding the leadership structure of the juvenile board in Parker County. The bill stipulates that the juvenile board will now elect one of its members to serve as chairman, replacing the previous requirement that the judge of the 43rd Judicial District automatically held this position. This change aims to provide the board with more flexibility in its leadership selection.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the House and Senate with significant support. The House approved the bill with a vote of 137 in favor and 11 against, while the Senate passed it unanimously with a vote of 31 to 0.
