Texas Department of State Health Services

Proposed Rules Re:

Amending 25 TAC §3.8, to improve public access to DSH advisory committee, council, and board rules by consolidating the rules into a single chapter.

CHAPTER 3. ADVISORY COMMITTEES, COUNCILS, AND BOARDS
25 TAC §3.8

OVERVIEW

The executive commissioner of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (agency), on behalf of the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), proposes new §3.8, concerning Youth Camp Advisory Committee.

BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

The purpose of the proposal is to improve public access to DSHS advisory committee, council, and board rules by moving all advisory committee, council, and board rules into a single chapter. Section 265.29, concerning Youth Camp Committee, is repealed from 25 TAC Chapter 265, concerning General Sanitation, and proposed as new in 25 TAC Chapter 3, concerning Advisory Committees, Councils, and Boards. The repeal is proposed elsewhere in this issue of the Texas Register.

The Youth Camp Advisory Committee provides an important function advising DSHS and the executive commissioner regarding youth camp standards and rules. In DSHS’s reports dated June 2023, May 2024, and June 2025, DSHS recommended the Youth Camp Committee continue. The agency agreed with DSHS’s recommendation and continued to appoint Youth Camp Committee members, and the Youth Camp Advisory Committee continued meeting. However, in light of the catastrophic events on July 4, 2025, and the focus on emergency plans required by Senate Bill 1 and House Bill 1, 89th Legislature, Second Special Session, 2025, the agency recognizes the importance of establishing the Youth Camp Advisory Committee with an amended composition. The agency believes the amended membership will provide the agency with valuable insights to improve health and safety standards for campers.

SECTION-BY-SECTION SUMMARY

Proposed new §3.8(a) provides the statutory authority for the Youth Camp Advisory Committee (YCAC).

Proposed new §3.8(b) provides the purpose of the YCAC.

Proposed new §3.8(c) lists the tasks performed by YCAC.

Proposed new §3.8(d) explains the reporting requirements.

Proposed new §3.8(e) describes the meeting requirements.

Proposed new §3.8(f) lists the membership composition and appointment terms.

Proposed new §3.8(g) describes how the chairperson, vice-chairperson, and secretary are selected.

Proposed new §3.8(h) explains the required training.

Proposed new §3.8(i) provides the travel reimbursement policy.

Proposed new §3.8(j) provides the abolishment date and formally establishes the YCAC with new membership.

Amending 25 TAC §§265.11, 265.18, 265.23, 265.24, 265.28 – 265.34, to update definitions, add requirements for implementation, and submission of emergency plans for emergency preparedness and response, and establish minimum camper and counselor overnight ratios.

CHAPTER 265. GENERAL SANITATION
SUBCHAPTER B. TEXAS YOUTH CAMPS SAFETY AND HEALTH
25 TAC §§265.11, 265.18, 265.23, 265.24, 265.28 – 265.34

BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

The proposal is necessary to implement Senate Bill (SB) 1 and House Bill (HB) 1, 89th Legislature, Second Special Session that amends Health and Safety Code Chapter 141. SB 1 and HB 1 require DSHS to update definitions, add requirements for implementation and submission of emergency plans for emergency preparedness and response, and establish minimum camper and counselor overnight ratios. The bills also add a requirement for youth camps to notify DSHS of structure modifications, submit renewal applications for certain camp updates, implement DSHS and youth camp operator website information requirements, and create a new youth camp safety multidisciplinary team. The proposal also implements SB 5, 89th Legislature, Second Special Session, which requires DSHS to increase license fees for day and residential youth camps to meet the cost of administering the program.

There will be other rules proposed in future issues of the Texas Register associated with the implementation of HB 1 and SB 1.

The proposed repeal of §265.29 is necessary as all DSHS advisory committee, council, and board rules are moving into a single chapter. The proposed new Youth Camp Advisory Committee section is published elsewhere in this issue of the Texas Register.

The proposed repeal of §§265.31 – 265.35 are necessary because responsibility for Migrant Labor Housing Facilities was transferred to Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) in 2005 in accordance with House Bill 1099, 79th Legislature, Regular Session, 2005. The TDHCA rules are located in Title 10 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 90.

The proposed amendment to §265.28, Fees, increases fees to meet the cost of administering the program.

Proposed new §265.29, Youth Camp Safety Multidisciplinary Team, creates a team to propose minimum youth camp standards.

The proposed amendment to §265.30, Waiver; Appeal, adds restrictions from waivers.

The proposed repeal of Subchapter C, §§265.31, 265.32, 265.33, 265.34, and 265.35 remove obsolete rules that no longer apply to DSHS.

Proposed new §265.31, Emergency Preparedness and Response, adds additional information required in camp emergency plans and camper safety training; new requirements for evacuation plans and severe weather; and new requirements for emergency plan confidentiality, parent or guardian notification, emergency communication, and lighting of evacuation routes.

Proposed new §265.32, Minimum Overnight Camper to Counselor Ratios, adds minimum requirements for the ratio of campers to counselors for overnight stays based on the camper’s age.

Proposed new §265.33, Online Youth Camp Registry, adds requirements for DSHS to post a list of licensed youth camps on the DSHS website.

Proposed new §265.34, Additional Inspection Required; Parental Complaints, adds requirements for youth camps to provide a link to the DSHS website to more easily report a noncompliant youth camp.

Amending 25 TAC §§265.31 – 265.35, to repeal the following sections, as authorized under the Texas Health and Safety Code §141.008, Texas Government Code §524.0151, and Texas Health and Safety Code §1001.075.

Proposed Rules Re:

Amending 26 TAC §§306.101, 306.103, 306.105, 306.107, 306.109, 306.111, to add definitions and clarify certification requirements for Texas Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (T-CCBHCs).

SUBCHAPTER C. TEXAS CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINICS
26 TAC §§306.101, 306.103, 306.105, 306.107, 306.109, 306.111

OVERVIEW

The executive commissioner of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes amendments to §306.101, relating to Purpose; §306.103, concerning Application; §306.105, concerning Definitions; §306.107, concerning Certification Eligibility; §306.109, concerning Application Process; and §306.111, concerning Certification Standards.

BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

The purpose of the proposal is to add definitions for terms used in the subchapter and provide further clarification for certification requirements for Texas Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (T-CCBHCs).

SECTION-BY-SECTION SUMMARY

The proposed amendment to §306.101 updates language to improve reader understanding.

The proposed amendment to §306.103 updates language to improve reader understanding.

The proposed amendment to §306.105 adds definitions for outpatient mental health treatment services and outpatient substance use treatment services and clarifies language in other definitions. Definitions are in line with current processes and ensure integration of mental health and substance use treatment services consistent with the goals of the T-CCBHC initiative. The proposed amendment also updates other language to improve reader understanding.

The proposed amendment to §306.107 prohibits T-CCBHC applicants from denying or limiting services to people within the local service area based on a person’s housing situation. This rule aligns with federal CCBHC criteria. The proposed amendment clarifies the services T-CCBHC applicants must deliver directly or through an agreement with another entity, including mental health rehabilitative services. The amendment adds the conditions that must exist for a T-CCBHC that is not an LMHA or LBHA to provide mobile crisis outreach services. These rules are needed to ensure the integration of mental health and substance use treatment services and that HHSC can adequately monitor provision of mobile crisis outreach services. The amendment adds the requirements for T-CCHBC applicants to be enrolled as a Medicaid provider. This rule aligns with federal CCBHC criteria. The proposed rule amendment clarifies the requirements of T-CCBHC governing boards and advisory committees. The proposed amendment also requires T-CCBHC applicants to be licensed as a Chemical Dependency Treatment Facility. This amendment is in line with Texas Administrative Code Title 26, Chapter 564. The proposed amendment updates rule language to improve reader understanding.

The proposed amendment to §306.109 clarifies that if T-CCBHC applicants do not meet all eligibility requirements listed on the application for certification, HHSC considers the applicant ineligible and denies the application. However, the proposed rule also allows the applicant to re-submit a new application to HHSC after the date HHSC denies the application. The proposed amendment requires an applicant to meet all eligibility requirements listed on the application. These rules support quality service delivery and administrative processes among T-CCBHC applicants for HHSC to successfully certify applicant organizations. The proposed amendment changes the time period for denial of an application by HHSC based on termination of an applicant’s contract, license, or certification from three years to within four years. This is to align with the proposed amendment in §306.111 to increase certification approval as a T-CCBHC from three to four years. The proposed amendment also updates other language to improve reader understanding.

The proposed amendment to §306.111 requires T-CCBHCs to annually report its quality measures to HHSC to remain certified. This amendment is in line with current processes and derived from federal CCBHC criteria, from which T-CCBHC criteria are modeled. The proposed amendment also changes T-CCBHC certification approval from three years to four years. This amendment supports maintaining high quality reviews of applicants using existing staff resources. The proposed amendment updates other language to improve reader understanding.

To qualify, the applicant must hold a current license in good standing from another state that is similar in scope of practice to a license issued in Texas.

HB 5629 amends TOC §55.004 and §55.0041 to require state agencies to recognize out-of-state licenses that are in good standing and similar in scope of practice to a Texas license, and to issue a corresponding Texas license.
