HB 4798 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to compliance reviews of assisted living facilities.

HB 4798 allows developers to submit building plans for review before completing construction of assisted living facilities, requiring the state department to set reasonable deadlines for these reviews. It also permits requests for life safety code surveys during construction, not just after completion. The bill directly affects builders and operators of assisted living facilities by adding pre-construction compliance steps. It amends the Health and Safety Code to implement these changes, effective September 1, 2025. The law does not change safety standards but streamlines review processes for new or modified facilities.
