BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 252.065(b), Health and Safety Code, is | ||
amended to read as follows: | ||
(b) The penalty for a facility with fewer than 60 beds shall | ||
be not less than $100 or more than $1,000 for each violation. The | ||
penalty for a facility with 60 beds or more shall be not less than | ||
$100 or more than $5,000 for each violation. Each day a violation | ||

specifically for that purpose, the commission may, but is not | ||
required to, implement a provision of this Act using other | ||
appropriations that are available for that purpose. | ||
