IN RE:
HB2116 by Klick (Relating to informal dispute resolutions for violations of health and safety standards at certain long-term care facilities.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to require the Health and Human Services Commission to provide certain documentation related to the survey, inspection, or other investigation of assisted living facilities to facilities that request an informal dispute resolution in response to a statement of violations. The documentation would include notes taken by or e-mails or messages sent by a commission employee involved with the survey, inspection, investigation, or other visit of an assisted living facility, with certain information redacted. The bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
Based on the LBB's analysis of the Health and Human Services Commission, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished with existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
