 Texas Senate Bill 758
This bill called for repealing a section of Senate Bill (SB) 6,
passed in 2005, which called for moving the
Texas foster care system to system of private agencies contracted to
operate foster homes and services under the
supervision of an independent administrator. SB 6 mandated that the
foster care system be privatized by 2009.
Instead, SB 758 permits a pilot project in which the Texas
Department of Family and Protective Services would
contract for case management services for 10% of Child Protective
Services cases. The bill awaits Texas Governor
Rick Perry's signature.
