During the 84th Legislative Session, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 200, addressing the reorganization of health and human services delivery in Texas. As a result, certain functions previously performed by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), including client services, certain regulatory functions, and the operation of state hospitals, transferred to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) in accordance with Texas Government Code, §531.0201 and §531.02011. The DSHS rules in Texas Administrative Code, Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 117, End Stage Renal Disease Facilities, Subchapter G, Fire Prevention and Safety Requirements, and Subchapter H, Physical Plant and Construction Requirements, that are related to these transferred functions, are being transferred to HHSC under Texas Administrative Code, Title 26, Part 1, Chapter 507, End Stage Renal Disease Facilities, Subchapter Y, Fire Prevention and Safety Requirements and Subchapter Z, Physical Plant and Construction Requirements.
The rules will be transferred in the Texas Administrative Code effective May 30, 2025.

Due to a filing discrepancy by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the HHSC rule in Texas Administrative Code, Title 26, Part 1, Chapter 370, Human Trafficking Resource Center, §370.456, Prohibition of Provider Discrimination Based on Immunization Status, was adopted in the incorrect location and is now being transferred to Title 1, Part 15, Chapter 370, State Children's Health Insurance Program, Subchapter E, Provider Requirements, §370.456, Prohibition of Provider Discrimination Based on Immunization Status.
The rules will be transferred in the Texas Administrative Code effective May 13, 2025.
