| 5 | 5 | CONCURRENT RESOLUTION | |
| 6 | 6 | WHEREAS, Texans with disabilities are an underserved | |
| 7 | 7 | population in our state; and | |
| 8 | 8 | WHEREAS, Due to their specific needs, persons with | |
| 9 | 9 | disabilities are sometimes placed in state-supervised | |
| 10 | 10 | guardianships to oversee their care; and | |
| 11 | 11 | WHEREAS, Currently, guardianships encompass the care of | |
| 12 | 12 | persons with disabilities of all ages; the supervision of a person | |
| 13 | 13 | who cannot care for him or herself is a high priority of the state; | |
| 14 | 14 | recent events have shown the need for review of the state safeguards | |
| 15 | 15 | and methodology for ensuring that wards under guardianship are | |
| 16 | 16 | being protected from all types of abuse; now, therefore, be it | |
| 17 | 17 | RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas, | |
| 18 | 18 | 4th Called Session, hereby request that the Lieutenant Governor and | |
| 19 | 19 | the Speaker of the House of Representatives create a joint interim | |
| 20 | 20 | committee to study deficiencies in the State of Texas systems for | |
| 21 | 21 | protecting wards under state-supervised guardianships; and, be it | |
| 22 | 22 | further | |
| 23 | 23 | RESOLVED, That the committee submit a full report, including | |
| 24 | 24 | findings and recommendations, to the 89th Texas Legislature in | |
| 25 | 25 | January 2025. |
