A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to a requirement that certain students, interns,

residents, and fellows receiving a clinical education at public or

nonprofit hospitals be provided leave to undergo an annual

comprehensive health examination.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Section 312.004(d), Health and Safety Code, is

amended to read as follows:

(d) Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, the [ The ]

contracting parties may determine the terms of and the

consideration for a contract authorized under this section.

SECTION 2. Chapter 312, Health and Safety Code, is amended

by adding Section 312.0045 to read as follows:

Sec. 312.0045. REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISION: LEAVE FOR

HEALTH EXAMINATION. A contract under Section 312.004 must require

a public or nonprofit hospital to provide each student, intern,

resident, and fellow who is enrolled at a contracting medical or

dental unit or supported medical or dental school and who is

receiving a clinical education at the public or nonprofit hospital

at least six consecutive hours of leave each year to undergo a

comprehensive health examination. The public or nonprofit hospital

at which the student, intern, resident, or fellow is receiving the

clinical education must offer to provide the examination at no

charge. A public or nonprofit hospital may not reduce the amount of

the compensation paid by the hospital to the student, intern,

resident, or fellow, if any, for leave taken for the examination.

SECTION 3. The change in law made by this Act applies only

to a contract entered into on or after the effective date of this

Act. A contract entered into before the effective date of this Act

is governed by the law in effect on the date the contract was

entered into, and the former law is continued in effect for that

purpose.

SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
