Relating to the prohibited exclusion of certain individuals requiring specialized care from inpatient mental health facilities.

SB 2769 prohibits inpatient mental health facilities in Texas from denying admission or discharging patients solely because they require specialized treatments for a bleeding disorder, such as prescribed injections. The law specifically protects individuals needing treatments like bolus or subcutaneous injections, which must be administered either by the patient themselves or by a licensed healthcare provider not employed by the facility. This applies to all inpatient mental health facilities covered under Chapter 571 of the Health and Safety Code. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, ensuring these patients cannot be excluded based on their treatment needs alone.
