Relating to the transport of female patients to a mental health facility or residential care facility.

HB 2622 requires that female patients being transported to mental health or residential care facilities must be accompanied by a female care provider, unless specific exceptions apply. The bill allows transport by a male attendant if they wear an activated body camera or if the transport vehicle has active audio/video recording. It also permits transport by a patient's father, husband, adult brother, or son. This law directly affects female patients receiving care in these facilities and sets clear safety and privacy standards for their transportation. The bill amends Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and Health and Safety Code, effective September 1, 2025.
