Bill > HB2392

This bill amends the Health and Safety Code to prohibit assisted living facilities in Texas from employing applicants who fail to indicate in writing that they have not been convicted of certain criminal offenses. The bill also requires these facilities to conduct a name-based criminal history check in each state where an applicant has resided in the past five years before hiring the applicant in a permanent position. The provisions of the bill apply to applications submitted on or after September 1, 2019, when the bill takes effect.
