Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 776 amends the Health and Safety Code to require the Texas Board of Human Services to include in the minimum standards adopted for convalescent and nursing homes the requirement that each institution, as part of an existing training program, provide certain individuals who render nursing services in the institution at least one hour of training each year in caring for people with dementia. The bill clarifies that it is not the intent of the legislature that the training requirement cause an institution to incur additional costs.
