Texas HB4670 amends laws to protect nursing facilities from retaliation and multiple penalties for the same violations.

Texas HB4670 amends the Government Code and Health and Safety Code to enhance protections for nursing facilities. It ensures that decisions made during informal dispute resolution processes are binding and cannot be overturned by the commission. The bill also prohibits the commission from retaliating against a nursing facility for good faith appeals or filings. Additionally, it prevents the commission from imposing multiple administrative penalties for the same act or failure to act, especially if the federal requirement is similar to state requirements.
