Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1715 amends the Health and Safety Code to provide that the Texas Department of Human Services should include the address and phone number of a person making a report of abuse or neglect in a convalescent or nursing home in the department's official report, unless the report is made anonymously. The act requires the department to delete the name, address, and phone number of the person making the report before the report may be released to the public or to any agent of the institution about which the report contains information.
