Senate Bill 78 amends the Government Code to require a health and human services agency that regulates youth camps; home and community support services agencies, hospitals, and convalescent and nursing homes; assisted living and special care facilities; intermediate care facilities; chemical dependency treatment facilities; mental health facilities and hospitals; or child-care facilities or placing agencies and adult day-care facilities to maintain, for a specified period of time, a record of each application for a license, a listing, or a registration that is denied, revoked, suspended, or terminated by the agency and to provide copies of the required records to each other health and human services agency that also regulates the applicable entity, facility, or agency. The bill specifies the information required to be included in the record and authorizes a health and human services agency to deny an application for a license, listing, or registration based on that information. The bill requires an applicant submitting an initial or renewal application for a license, listing, or registration to include with the application a written statement containing the name of any controlling persons of the entity for which the license, listing, or registration is sought.
