House Bill 2340 amends the Health and Safety Code to provide for a temporary license issued by the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) to an applicant for an initial prescribed pediatric extended care center license, pending DADS review of the applicant's initial license application. The bill specifies the times at which the parent, legal guardian, or managing conservator of a minor client of a center is not required to accompany the client and the required level of nursing services that a center must provide. The bill establishes the reimbursement rate to be set by the Health and Human Services Commission for licensed pediatric extended care centers that are enrolled in Medicaid.
