Ken Paxton said in the lawsuit that the administration has not explained why the minimum staffing rule is needed nor has it ‘taken into account the massive nationwide nursing shortage’
Texas’s Republican top prosecutor on Wednesday sued the Biden administration in an effort to block a new federal rule on minimum staffing for nursing homes, saying it would force rural nursing homes out of business.
The rule, announced in April by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, would require nursing homes to have a registered nurse on duty 24 hours per day, and total nurse staffing of at 3-1/2 hours per resident per day. Federal law previously required nursing homes to employ a registered nurse for eight consecutive hours per day.
