Texas HB861 establishes procedures for handling complaints against health care practitioners licensed by different entities.

Texas HB861 amends Chapter 112 of the Occupations Code to create a process for handling complaints against health care practitioners licensed by different entities. The bill requires a licensing entity that receives a complaint about a practitioner licensed by another entity to forward the complaint to the appropriate licensing entity. Additionally, a licensing entity cannot take disciplinary action on a complaint against a practitioner licensed by another entity unless it refers the complaint back to the entity that received the complaint for investigation and resolution.
