House Bill 2966 amends the Health and Safety Code to prohibit a hospital authority, in a municipality with a population of less than 12,000 and a county with a population of 2.5 million or more at the time the authority begins operating a facility for the elderly or disabled, from owning or operating more than 50 licensed nursing home beds. The act also exempts such an authority from certain prohibitions against issuing revenue bonds to own or operate a facility that caters to the elderly or disabled if there is a private provider in the area.
