O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB1229 by Van de Putte (Relating to creating an advisory committee on child protective services in the region that includes Bexar County for the Department of Family and Protective Services.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would create the Bexar County Child Protective Services Advisory Council to advise the Department of Family and Protective Services on child protective services issues impacting the region that includes Bexar County. It would require agency staff to (a) attend quarterly meetings in Bexar County (b) provide a written response to advisory council recommendations and (c) consider and respond to issues, concerns, and recommendations presented by the advisory council. The response must be in writing and include the agency's rationale for any policy or action taken or not taken by the agency.
