House Bill 1337 amends the Health and Safety Code to require a convalescent or nursing home and an assisted living facility to make a reasonable effort to request a copy of any guardianship order for a resident and, if the institution receives such an order, to maintain a copy of the order in the resident's medical records. The bill requires a Department of Aging and Disability Services investigation of a report of abuse, neglect, or exploitation or other complaint to include the inspection of a guardianship order of a resident who is the subject of the alleged abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
