Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1549 amends the Health and Safety Code to require that the minimum standards adopted by the Texas Board of Human Services require nursing institutions, using an existing training program, to provide at least one hour of training each year in caring for people with dementia to registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, nurse aides, and nursing assistants. It specifies that the intent of the legislature is that the rules will not cause the nursing institutions to incur additional costs.
