The Texas Department of Health (depart-
ment) proposes amendments to 125.1-

tions; application and issuance of license for

section covers Time Periods for Processing

tions and creating the new section for the
purposes of implementing legislation passed
during the 73rd Legislature, Regular Session,

1551 which amend the Special Care Facility

date existing language and add new lan-
guage to implement HB 944 and HB 1551. In
implementing the new legislation, the new
language adds definitions for AIDS, bereave-
ment, bereavement services, hospice ser-
vices, palliative care, residential AIDS
hospice care, support services, and terminal
illness (HB 1551); language relating to the
residential AIDS hospice designation for a
special care facility (HB 1551); and'language
which reflects the exemption from special
care facility licensure of a child care institu-
tion, foster group home, foster family home,
and child-placing agency, and children in fos-
ter care or other residential care who are
under the conservatorship of the Texas De-18 TexReg 8848 December 3, 1993
