HB 863 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to senior independent living communities; providing civil and administrative penalties.

HB 863 creates a statewide database requiring senior independent living communities (residential communities for residents 55+ that operate as housing for older adults) to submit health and safety plans. The database, maintained by a state agency, will include these plans and be accessible to emergency response teams for coordination during crises. Communities that fail to file required plans or violate related rules may face administrative penalties. The database is confidential, and the bill mandates a standard template for health and safety plans to ensure consistency.
