House Bill 1769 amends the Health and Safety Code to authorize an assisted living facility license applicant in good standing, as defined by the bill, to request from the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) an initial license that does not require an on-site health inspection. The bill specifies the application requirements for an initial license, prohibits DADS from requiring an applicant to admit a resident to the facility before the issuance of an initial license, and establishes the deadline by which DADS must conduct a survey of a facility issued an initial license.
