Relating to inpatient competency restoration services.

SB 528 establishes new requirements for facilities providing inpatient competency restoration services in Texas. It mandates that these facilities enter into memorandums of understanding with local counties, municipalities, and mental health authorities (Sec. 580.003). The bill also requires facilities to submit annual reports to the Health and Human Services Commission detailing specific metrics, including the number of individuals restored to competency, average treatment duration, and transfer rates after 60 days (Sec. 580.004). These reports must include demographic breakdowns by offense type (misdemeanor/felony) and other relevant factors. The law applies exclusively to facilities contracted with the Commission to restore competency for individuals awaiting trial under criminal procedure law.
