Relating to a hospital's determination to grant, deny, renew, or modify medical staff privileges.

This bill requires Texas hospitals to use objective, consistent criteria when deciding whether to grant, deny, renew, or modify medical staff privileges for physicians, podiatrists, or dentists. Hospitals must apply their adopted criteria uniformly to all applicants and may require documentation of current clinical competency and experience in requested procedures. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects hospital credentialing processes and medical staff seeking privileges.
