Bill > HB724

This bill amends the Texas Human Resources Code to allow child-care facilities to voluntarily provide transparent health information to parents and guardians by displaying notices about three key health metrics: the percentage of children at the facility who have received required immunizations (as specified in the Health and Safety Code), the percentage of adult employees who are immunized according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommended adult immunization schedule, and the facility's specific handwashing policy designed to prevent the spread of infections. The bill does not mandate that child-care facilities provide this information, but rather creates a legal framework that permits such voluntary disclosures, which could help parents make more informed decisions about their children's care and understand the facility's commitment to health and safety. The provisions of this bill will take effect on September 1, 2025.
