Once the Texas Legislature finishes its business every odd-numbered year, hundreds of new state laws are on the books – and at minimum, dozens of them have implications for health care. Some directly impact the operations of Texas hospitals.

THA’s latest health law manual, 2023 New Health Care Laws: From the 88th Texas Legislature, analyzes the new health care-impacting laws that emerged from this year’s regular session that gaveled out in late May, grouped by category. The manual also identifies the new statutes with operational impacts for hospitals, and detail those implications for facilities across the state.
