ACTION ITEMS
The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes the repeal of Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Title 40, Part 1, Chapter 17, and new TAC Title 26, Chapter 303, concerning preadmission screening and resident review. The reason for repealing TAC, Title 40, Part 1, Chapter 17, and adopting new TAC, Title 26, Part 1, Chapter 303, is to consolidate HHSC rules in Title 26, Part 1. Many of the proposed new sections are similar to repealed sections.
