The bill amends Section 247.0261 of the Health and Safety Code to establish a compliance review process for assisted living facilities. The heading of the section is changed to "COMPLIANCE REVIEW REQUIRED BEFORE COMPLETION," emphasizing the necessity of compliance checks prior to the completion of construction or modification of these facilities. Additionally, the bill specifies that individuals who construct or modify an assisted living facility must submit their building plans to the department for review to ensure compliance with architectural requirements before completing the construction or modification.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission adopt rules to implement these changes as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date, which is set for September 1, 2025. The revisions aim to enhance oversight and ensure that assisted living facilities meet necessary standards before they are operational.
