IN RE:
SB1159 by Hancock (Relating to hospital liens.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Property Code to clarify certain standards for determining when an injured individual is considered admitted to a hospital.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Association of Counties (TAC), the bill could have a positive fiscal impact on those counties that operate hospitals. However, TAC cannot determine the extent of that impact at this time.
