Bill Analysis

SB 1519 would amend the Government Code, by adding Section 531.0581 to require the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to establish a Long Term Care Facilities Council as a permanent advisory committee to HHSC. The council would study and make recommendations regarding a consistent survey and informal dispute resolution process for long-term care facilities and regarding Medicaid quality-based payment systems for those facilities.

SB 1519 is an administrative bill with no apparent connection to our liberty principles and we remain neutral.
