Senate Bill 584 amends the Health and Safety Code to require state-operated mental health facilities and residential care facilities to provide written notice at the time a patient is admitted for voluntary or involuntary inpatient mental health services that certain trusts of which the patient is a beneficiary are not liable for the patient's support. The bill requires further explanation of the notice within 24 hours of the patient's admission and also requires the notice to be attached to any request for payment for the patient's or resident's support.
