licensing boards. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 241.059, Health and Safety Code, is | ||
amended by adding Subsection (i-1) to read as follows: | ||
(i-1) Not later than the 30th day after the date an order | ||
issued under this section is final, the department shall forward a | ||
copy of the order to the appropriate licensing board of a health | ||
care professional licensed under Title 3, Occupations Code, who the | ||
department finds to be materially involved in the violation. The | ||
licensing board shall retain a copy of the order in the health care | ||
professional's file. The copy of the order is confidential to the | ||
extent required by law. | ||

to the assessment or imposition of an administrative penalty under | ||
Section 241.059, Health and Safety Code, for a violation that | ||
occurs on or after the effective date of this Act. The assessment | ||
or imposition of an administrative penalty under Section 241.059, | ||
Health and Safety Code, for a violation that occurs before the | ||
effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the | ||
date the violation occurred, and that law is continued in effect for | ||
that purpose. | ||
