SB 699 establishes the "Eddie Bernice Johnson Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Regulatory Act of 2025," which introduces a comprehensive licensing and regulatory framework for inpatient rehabilitation facilities in Texas. The bill defines inpatient rehabilitation facilities, delineates licensing requirements, and imposes fees, as well as civil and administrative penalties for violations. It outlines standards for operations, inspections, and compliance, and specifies rules for the transfer of patients and fire safety. The bill also establishes reporting requirements to track facility performance and public access to compliance information. It includes provisions for the grading of facilities, with incentives for superior grades, and sets penalties for unlicensed operation or violations of standards. The act further includes criminal penalties for certain actions, such as unauthorized disclosure of inspection details.
