  • Workgroup members have members from public and private organizations. We meet regularly.
  • We're also improving the state's collection, analysis, and publication of dementia-related data.
  • So, no further public testimony. The question before you is Senate Bill 1249.
Bills: SB1131, SB1249
Summary: The Committee on Appropriations heard two bills. Senate Bill 1131 would require school districts and charter schools to report AED counts, CPR/AED training levels, and cardiac emergency response plans to ADE, and would appropriate $1 million for AED purchases and maintenance. The committee adopted an amendment shifting the funding source from the general fund to the industry-recognized certification and licensure reimbursement fund, after staff said the fund had an estimated $2 million balance and continued to receive $1 million annually. The American Heart Association testified in support, emphasizing the need for AEDs, CPR training, and emergency planning in schools. The bill was returned with a due pass recommendation by a 15-1 vote, with two members voting present and several members noting concerns about using the special fund rather than general funds. Senate Bill 1249 would create or continue a dementia services program and Alzheimer’s state plan at the Department of Health Services and appropriate $600,000 from the Health Services Lottery Moneys Fund. The Alzheimer’s Association testified in strong support, saying the prior three-year appropriation helped establish the plan and workgroups and that the new funding would support implementation, caregiver support, data collection, training, and grant applications. Several members raised concerns about taking money from a fund that supports maternal and child health programs such as Health Start and WIC, describing it as “robbing Peter to pay Paul,” while others said they supported the policy but wanted a sustainable funding source. The bill received a due pass recommendation on a 9-3 vote, with three members voting present.

Jurisprudence

Transcript Highlights:
  • Andrew Brown, Texas Public Policy Foundation, in support of Senate Bill 2052.
  • We'll open public testimony on Senate Bill 2052.
  • After we hear from Mercedes, we'll open public testimony on this bill. Mr.
  • Seeing and hearing none, public testimony is closed.
  • Seeing and hearing none, public testimony is closed. Judge Herman?
Summary: The Senate Committee on Jurisprudence heard several family-law and probate bills. Senate Bill 2052 would codify a rebuttable presumption that a parent acts in the best interest of a child and require clear and convincing evidence to overcome that presumption in disputes involving non-parents; the author and several witnesses supported the bill as a clarification of existing case law, while one witness suggested refining the modification language. Public testimony was closed and the bill was left pending. The committee also heard Senate Bill 1923, which would allow child support to follow a child placed temporarily with kin or fictive kin under a parental child safety placement or authorization agreement; the bill’s author and a grandparent caregiver testified in support, while one witness suggested the Attorney General could handle the change administratively. That bill was also left pending. Senate Bill 1838 would standardize fee schedules and compensation rules for attorneys ad litem and related court-appointed counsel in DFPS child-protection cases. The author said the bill would clarify unclear current law, and witnesses from the Texas Indigent Defense Commission and family-defense bar supported it, though one asked that expert-witness expenses be expressly included. Senate Bill 387 would raise the bond requirement for county judges handling guardianship proceedings to at least $500,000; the author described it as a refiling of a prior bill that passed unanimously but was vetoed, and a statutory probate judge testified in support. Senate Bill 1839 would require original or paper wills to be delivered to the transferee court when probate proceedings are transferred; the committee substitute broadened the delivery methods, and the district clerk witness supported the change. All three bills were left pending. The committee also took up Senate Bill 1536, which had previously been voted out with the wrong committee substitute; members reconsidered the vote, adopted the corrected substitute, and then voted 3-0 to report the bill favorably to the full Senate, with local and contested calendar certification. Finally, Senate Bill 1940 would create a transfer-on-death mechanism for manufactured homes classified as personal property, similar to existing tools for real property and vehicles; the author and an estate-planning attorney testified that it would streamline transfers and reduce probate costs. A non-substantive committee substitute was still being prepared, and the bill was left pending.
