Relating to inpatient competency restoration services.

HB 5121 creates Chapter 580 in the Health and Safety Code to establish requirements for facilities providing inpatient competency restoration services. It directly affects facilities that contract with the Health and Human Services Commission to help people (charged with misdemeanors or felonies) regain competency to stand trial under Texas law. Key provisions require these facilities to: (1) sign memorandums of understanding with local counties, mental health authorities, and municipalities; (2) submit annual reports to the Commission with detailed data on patients (including restoration rates, average service duration, and transfer outcomes); and (3) provide disaggregated demographic data. The bill aims to improve transparency and accountability in competency restoration services by mandating standardized reporting.
