HB 4250 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to emergency generators or other power sources for nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and certain multiunit complexes; providing a civil penalty.

HB 4250 requires nursing facilities and assisted living facilities in Texas to install operational backup power systems (like generators) capable of running for at least 72 hours during outages, with sufficient fuel and separate power for locked resident areas. Facilities must comply by September 1, 2026, with limited extensions possible, and the state commission must conduct annual inspections of these systems. The bill also establishes civil penalties for noncompliance. This directly affects licensed facilities, not residents or general public, and focuses on ensuring power continuity during emergencies.
