Operative words
All licensed health care professionals shall be limited in their practice by, and must comply with, any emergency rules promulgated by their respective licensing agencies dictating minimum standards for safe practice during the COVID-19 disaster. Every hospital licensed under Chapter 241 of the Texas Health and Safety Code shall reserve at least 15 percent of its hospital capacity for treatment of COVID-19 patients.
Enforcement
§ 418.173; licensing agency emergency rules (Texas Medical Board; Texas State Board of Dental Examiners Emergency Rule 108.7, Ex. TX-054/055) given the force of the executive order
Notes
Makes every licensing board's COVID-19 emergency rule a term of the Governor's order for every licensed health professional (physicians, dentists, hygienists, therapists, chiropractors, optometrists)
Retrieval noteEnd field: GA-25 concerns jails; GA-19 remained in force until GA-31 (Sept. 17, 2020) superseded it.
