Texas SB1310 mandates emergency response plans for senior independent living communities.

Texas SB1310 requires senior independent living communities to prepare, maintain, and update annually a written emergency response plan. This plan must detail communication methods during disasters, ensure on-site staff presence, provide for food, water, and essential supplies, and outline evacuation procedures. The plan must be filed with the Health and Human Services Commission, shared with residents, and posted publicly. Leases and contracts must include the plan and cannot control residents' advance directives. Violations incur civil penalties up to $500 per day.
