TX HHS Form 2432. CLASS and DBMD Children Program Vehicle Evaluation

The TX HHS Form 2432, CLASS and DBMD Children Program Vehicle Evaluation, is a crucial tool for ensuring the safety of children with disabilities. This form helps identify any mechanical issues that may compromise the vehicle's ability to operate safely, allowing for prompt repairs or adjustments to be made.

This evaluation form requires an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certified automotive technician to assess various mechanical areas of the vehicle, including the engine, transmission, brakes, and suspension. The technician must determine if each area is functioning sufficiently to allow for safe operation and document their findings in the Comments section. If any issues are identified, the technician must specify the necessary repairs or adjustments needed to correct the problem.

The form also emphasizes the responsibilities of the vehicle's owner, who will be responsible for paying any costs associated with conducting the evaluation. The Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) does not cover the cost of repairs or adjustments. Key features of this form include:

• Required information: Vehicle registration status, mechanical area evaluations, and necessary repairs or adjustments
• Responsibilities: Owner's responsibility for payment of evaluation costs; HHS does not cover repair or adjustment costs
• Situations where the form is used: Evaluating vehicles for children with disabilities in the CLASS and DBMD programs
