More health facilities covered by misconduct registry

Beginning September 1, 2025, Texas expands which facilities fall under its employee misconduct registry rules. The added facilities are those licensed under Chapters 555 and 577 of the Texas Health and Safety Code. The Health and Human Services Commission must implement the change only if lawmakers specifically fund it. Without that funding, the commission may use other available money for this purpose.

Mental health licenses require naming operations managers

Beginning September 1, 2025, Texas mental hospital and mental health facility license applications require an added disclosure. Applicants must list the name and address of the person responsible for daily operations. The Health and Human Services Commission must implement the change only if lawmakers specifically fund it. Without that funding, the commission may use other available money for this purpose.
