SENATE BILL 941

SENATE AUTHOR: Armbrister

EFFECTIVE: 6-19-99

HOUSE SPONSOR: Uher

            Senate Bill 941 amends the Texas Professional Corporation Act, the Texas Professional Association Act, and the Texas Limited Liability Company Act to authorize one or more professionals, other than physicians, engaged in related mental health fields such as psychology, clinical social work, licensed professional counseling, and licensed marriage and family therapy to form a professional corporation, a professional association, or a limited liability company to perform services that fall within the scope of their practice. The act limits the authority of the practitioners to the scope of their practice, and none can exercise control over the others' clinical authority by any arrangement that would assert control over treatment decisions made by a practitioner. The act directs state agencies exercising regulatory control over the professions to continue to exercise their respective regulatory authority.
