Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to certain state hospital names and the management of state hospitals.
AI Summary
This bill makes several modifications to the naming and management of state hospitals in Texas. Specifically, it renames the North Texas State Hospital to the Vernon State Hospital and adds three new facilities to the list of state hospitals: the Wichita Falls State Hospital, the Panhandle State Hospital, and the Lubbock Psychiatric Center. The bill also requires the executive commissioner to establish a rule mandating that each state hospital employ a superintendent. These changes are made to sections of the Texas Health and Safety Code that define the Department of State Health Services and what constitutes a "state hospital". The modifications update the official list of state hospital facilities and introduce a new management requirement for these institutions. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving state health authorities time to implement the necessary changes.
