The bill, H.B. No. 4798, amends the Health and Safety Code regarding compliance reviews and life safety code surveys for assisted living facilities. It changes the heading of Section 247.0261 to "COMPLIANCE REVIEW REQUIRED BEFORE COMPLETION" and modifies the language in subsection (a) to allow individuals constructing or modifying an assisted living facility to submit building plans for compliance review before completing construction. The executive commissioner is tasked with establishing a procedure and reasonable deadlines for the review of these plans.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new section, 247.02615, which authorizes individuals to request a life safety code survey for their assisted living facility prior to the completion of construction or modification. The executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission is required to adopt necessary rules to implement these changes as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025.
