Relating to a requirement that certain students, interns, residents, and fellows receiving a clinical education at public or nonprofit hospitals be provided leave to undergo an annual comprehensive health examination.

This bill requires public and nonprofit hospitals in Texas to grant at least six consecutive hours of paid leave annually to medical students, interns, residents, and fellows for comprehensive health examinations. The law mandates that these healthcare facilities offer the examinations at no cost to the trainees and prohibits any reduction in compensation for time taken to attend the exams. This requirement applies only to contracts entered into on or after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025, and is intended to support the health monitoring needs of individuals receiving clinical training at these institutions.
