Senate Bill 815 amends the law relating to the construction of the South Texas Hospital as enacted by Chapter 1106, Acts of the 76th Legislature, Regular Session, 1999. The bill deletes language restricting construction to an initial facility at a site in Harlingen to require the Department of State Health Services to contract for the construction of at least one facility out of funds appropriated to the department.
