House Bill 4276 amends the Health and Safety Code to require the facility administrator of a mental health facility, in conjunction with the local mental health authority, to create a transportation plan for a person scheduled to be discharged or furloughed from the facility. The bill requires the plan to account for the person's capacity, be in writing, and specify certain details about the transportation. On consent of the person discharged or furloughed, the facility is required to forward the plan to a family member of the person before the transport.
