HB 1119 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a biennial report on the regional allocation of mental health beds.

This bill requires Texas health agencies to produce a biennial report (every even-numbered year by December 1) on how mental health beds are allocated across the state's regions. The report must evaluate the current allocation method, show how it has worked in practice, analyze factors affecting bed usage (like local resources and funding), and include recommendations for improvement. It is submitted to the governor, legislature leadership, and relevant committees to inform future decisions about mental health resources. The bill does not change current bed allocation rules but mandates regular assessment of the system's effectiveness.
