SB 620 amends the Family Code to require "active efforts" by the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) in cases involving the removal of children. Active efforts are defined as tailored and thorough steps to support family reunification, including assessments, facilitating services, and monitoring progress. The bill emphasizes written documentation of these efforts and applies them to termination of parental rights and removal decisions.
