Relating to power duration requirements in emergency contingency plans adopted by end stage renal disease facilities.

This bill requires end-stage renal disease (ESRD) facilities in Texas to update their emergency contingency plans with stricter power and water backup standards. Specifically, facilities must maintain on-site fuel for 72 hours (up from 24 hours) or use battery-powered generators, install generators meeting National Fire Protection Association standards, and keep 24 hours of potable water on-site. Facilities unable to store fuel on-site must secure third-party fuel agreements during outages. These changes take effect by December 1, 2025, applying directly to dialysis centers to ensure continuous patient care during emergencies.
