SB 295 made it all the way through both chambers to the House floor but died before getting a vote (the last step before going to the governor)!
I am so grateful to the hard work and dedication of Senator Watson and Representative Gutierrez and their respective staff members. Additionally, Mary Leblond with Texas ENA and Jim Willman with TNA were amazing front line resources that worked with the opposition groups to attempt compromise on every front.
It was so sad to see the amount and ferocity of opposition to legislation to protecting health care providers. It is tragic that Texas health care providers are supposed to stand for physical abuse as part of their job. Until something significant changes, the "Twilight Zone" mentality of health care settings will continue. (see page The Hospital Is Not The Twilight Zone).
