Texas SB2479 modifies the Health and Safety Code to permit the issuance of a single license for a hospital and its mobile stroke unit, provided the unit is accredited by an organization approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The bill also allows for a single license for multiple hospitals under certain conditions, such as being under the same governing body and within a 30-mile radius. The executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission must adopt rules to implement these changes. The act will take effect on September 1, 2025.
