AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas nursing homes that thrice commit egregious oversight offenses could be shuttered under a plan proposed by state lawmakers.

The Texas Sunset Advisory Commission recommended the crackdown at its Wednesday meeting in Austin, local media outlets reported. The proposal urges the Legislature to require the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services to rescind the license of any nursing home with at least three of the gravest violations over a two-year period.
