First, it is essential to remember that under SB 240, Texas Healthcare Facilities must Adopt Workplace Violence Prevention Plans by September 1, 2024. For HCSSA, HHSC has revised PL 2024-10 to “remove a “reference to temporary employees.”” It also clarifies the definition of “an employed register nurse” to read: “An RN is considered to be employed if he or
she has entered into a formal employment relationship with a home health
agency and receives a W2 tax form from that agency.” You can find the letter here.
