New Adopted Rules: Wheelchair Self-release Seatbelts

HHS has adopted new rules to the Texas Administrative Code regarding wheelchair self-release seatbelts. The rules require a facility to allow a resident to use a wheelchair self-release seatbelt if the resident meets certain conditions. The rule also specifies when a facility is not required to allow a resident to use a wheelchair self-release seat belt, if that is facility policy.
