Senate Bill 43 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to clarify that the civil liability of an employer or former employer of a mental health services provider or former patient injured as a result of the provider's sexual exploitation of the patient or former patient, based on the employer or former employer knowing or having reason to know that the provider engaged in sexual exploitation and failing to take certain actions, applies to sexual exploitation of any patient, rather than solely the sexual exploitation of the patient or former patient involved in the current cause of action.
