Relating to the required approval of certain hospital visits as a condition of release on parole or to mandatory supervision for certain releasees and to the hospital's liability for damages resulting from those visits.

SB 1416 requires parole officers to approve non-medical hospital visits for parolees convicted of certain serious offenses (listed in Texas law) before they can visit a hospital for reasons other than receiving medical treatment. Parolees must request visits in advance with specific details, and parole officers must notify the hospital's law enforcement about approved visits. The bill also shields hospitals from liability for damages related to these approved visits. This law applies only to individuals released on parole or mandatory supervision on or after September 1, 2025.
