Link: https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=87R&Bill=SB2038
Relating to prices and fees charged by certain freestanding emergency medical care facilities, including prices and fees charged during a declared state of disaster; providing administrative penalties. This bill would address price gouging by freestanding ERs by prohibiting a freestanding ER from charging a facility, observation, or provider fee for testing or vaccinating from their vehicle. The bill would also prohibit freestanding ERs from charging a price that is unconscionable during a declared state of disaster. If a freestanding ER does price gouge, this bill would have the Health and Human Services Commission impose administrative penalties and an eventual revocation of license.
