Texas SB1275 regulates crisis nursery facilities, exempting them from certain licensing requirements while ensuring child safety.

Texas SB1275 amends the Human Resources Code to define "crisis nursery facility" as a child-care facility providing temporary care for children in crisis. The bill exempts these facilities from certain licensing requirements but mandates specific regulations, including safety standards, financial monitoring, complaint filing, and regular inspections. It also limits the duration a child can stay at such a facility to 72 hours, except for residential child-care facilities providing crisis nursery services. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
