Texas Legislative Updates

As a trade association for ambulatory surgery centers, the Texas ASC Society is an active participant in all regulatory and legislative activities at the Capitol in Austin, TX.

During legislative sessions, TASCS proactively sponsors legislation, ensuring that bills are supportive of the Texas surgery center industry and do not adversely impact ASCs. During the session, TASCS monitor bills and committee meetings closely and when needed, has members testify before committee hearings and take formal positions on bills that may impact Texas ASCs.

The Texas ASC Society is also active during the interim, monitoring committee meetings, interim charges, responds to open comments regarding agency rules, etc. TASCS works closely with regulatory agencies such as TDI and HHSC, THCIC, TMB, TSBP and DSHS to ensure that surgery centers are actively involved with rule changes.
