Bill Summary
Relating to the regulation and inspection procedures of certain long-term care facilities, including a survey of certain facilities' emergency power sources.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Health and Safety Code to give the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (the "commission") more regulatory authority over certain long-term care facilities. Specifically, it allows the commission to conduct unannounced inspections and follow-up inspections of these facilities, and requires the commission to annually evaluate its capacity to effectively regulate these facilities and fill any vacant inspector positions. The bill also requires the commission to conduct a survey on the number of long-term care and assisted living facilities that have emergency generators or comparable emergency power sources, and report the results to the legislature.
