AUSTIN (KXAN) – A bill that would make public the number of cases of diseases found in long-term care facilities, such as a nursing home, got a House Human Services Committee hearing Tuesday and appears to be moving closer to passage. Nobody testified against the legislation.
State Rep. Mayes Middleton, R-Wallisville, authored the legislation—HB 3306. Two similar bills have been filed by state senators: SB 930 submitted by Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, and SB 882 by Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, who chairs the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. Zaffirni’s bill was passed by the Senate and sent to the House on April 1.
