Relating to the disclosure of health care cost information by certain health care facilities; imposing an administrative penalty.
SB 331 requires hospitals, abortion facilities, surgical centers, and other large health care providers (with $7 million or more in annual revenue) to publicly disclose pricing information for certain services. It mandates that facilities respond to commission requests for corrective action plans if they fail to comply, with administrative penalties for non-compliance. The law applies only to facilities meeting the $7 million revenue threshold, as specified in Section 327.0015 of the Health and Safety Code. The bill became effective immediately after the governor signed it on June 20, 2025.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized in its enrolled version with minor formatting cleanup and a significant threshold adjustment. The most important change is that the revenue threshold for facility applicability was increased from $7 million to $10 million, meaning fewer facilities will be subject to the disclosure requirements. Additionally, the penalty structure for facilities with revenues between $10 million and $100 million was revised to charge per violation rather than per day.
Scope change
The bill now applies to health care facilities with total gross revenue of $10 million or more, up from the previous $7 million threshold, reducing the number of facilities subject to these requirements.
ELIGIBILITY
Increased the revenue threshold for facility applicability from $7 million to $10 million, meaning fewer facilities must comply with disclosure requirements.
ENFORCEMENT
Changed the penalty calculation for facilities with $10 million to $100 million in revenue from a daily charge to a per-violation charge.
TECHNICAL
Removed draft annotations and formatting placeholders from the bill text.
Added certification language confirming the bill passed both chambers and was signed by the Governor.
