Bill > SB1824

This bill amends the Health and Safety Code to establish standards for prescribed pediatric extended care centers, including requirements for transportation services, reimbursement rates, and the authority of parents or guardians to make treatment decisions for their minor clients. The bill also allows centers to provide nursing services in a group setting and streamlines the admission process by allowing centers to obtain required signatures on a single consent document. The executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission is required to adopt necessary rules and update relevant procedures to implement the changes made by the bill, which takes effect on September 1, 2023.
