SB804 amends the Family Code to ensure children on probation must attend school, with courts and probation officers addressing transportation issues.

SB804 amends the Family Code to address school attendance for children on probation. If a court places a child on probation and requires school attendance, the court must consult with the child's parents, school officials, and the probation officer, and specify a plan to prevent absences due to lack of transportation. The probation officer must monitor the child's attendance and report any voluntary absences to the court, considering whether transportation was available. The changes apply to probation orders issued after the act's effective date of September 1, 2025.
