HB 661 establishes deadlines for completing services under family service plans created by the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS). The bill requires that services outlined in the plans must be concluded no later than the 15th business day before the court-ordered dismissal date of the related suit, as per Subchapter E, Chapter 263 of the Family Code. This measure aims to ensure that services provided to parents, such as counseling or parenting classes, are completed in a timely manner, thereby supporting the permanency goals of returning children to their families or finding alternative safe placements​.
