Relating to notice provided by a chemical dependency treatment facility to the parent, managing conservator, or guardian of a minor refused admission to the facility.
HB 2035 requires chemical dependency treatment facilities in Texas to provide written notice to a minor's parent, managing conservator, or guardian when refusing voluntary admission for treatment. The notice must inform them of their right to seek voluntary treatment at another facility. This law directly affects minors seeking chemical dependency treatment and their legal guardians, ensuring families are informed about alternative care options when a facility declines admission. The bill amends the Health and Safety Code and takes effect September 1, 2025.
