Texas SB760 mandates notification to guardians or agents of residents in assisted living, nursing, or intermediate care facilities who request.

Texas SB760 amends election and health and safety codes to require facilities to notify legal guardians or agents if a resident requests a ballot by mail. The Health and Human Services Commission must notify facilities of such requests. Facilities must determine if the resident has a guardian or agent and notify them within five business days. The commission will audit compliance, including at least 2.5% of facilities, within 45 days of elections. The changes apply to mail ballot applications submitted after the act's effective date of September 1, 2025.
