HB 4071 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to certain duties of the Texas Board of Nursing and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board in relation to the reporting and publication of nursing program clinical site data.

HB 4071 requires the Texas Board of Nursing to annually publish public data on clinical sites used by nursing programs, including each site's location, number of students trained there, and total capacity. The bill also mandates the Board to provide the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board with a list of facilities meeting clinical site requirements (like hospitals or care centers) that are not required to participate. This law does not compel facilities to join or report additional information, and the first report must be submitted by June 1, 2026. The legislation directly affects the Texas Board of Nursing and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board through new reporting duties.
