SB 1416, also known as the Pokuaa-Flowers Act, this bill adds restrictions on hospital visits by parolees who are under electronic monitoring for violent offenses. It requires that any parolee convicted of a violent crime (as listed in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure) who is subject to electronic monitoring must receive approval from their parole officer before visiting a general hospital, except in cases of emergency medical care. If approval is granted, the parole officer must notify law enforcement authorities at the hospital or the local police. The bill also provides liability protection for hospitals, stating that hospitals cannot be held civilly liable for damages resulting from a parolee’s visit. These provisions apply only to individuals paroled after the bill’s effective date​.
