Relating to employment verification of certain health facility applicants.

SB 288 requires Texas health facilities to verify employment history for job applicants before offering positions in specific roles. This applies directly to facilities hiring staff who provide services to children or vulnerable adults, or handle state funds. The law mandates that facilities contact previous employers listed in applications to confirm employment details. Health facilities may hire third parties to conduct these verifications, and the rule takes effect September 1, 2025.
