As of September 1, 2025, House Bill 3749, widely known as “Jenifer’s Law,” is officially in effect across Texas. Signed into law on June 20, 2025, this legislation introduces clear regulations for elective IV therapy providers.
This law is focused entirely on the IV therapy space, where rapid growth has outpaced regulation.
The bill was introduced following a tragic death linked to improperly supervised IV therapy. IV drips involve directly infusing substances into the bloodstream, which can create serious risks if not managed under proper medical oversight.
By requiring prescriber orders, qualified administrators, and formal delegation agreements, Texas is setting a new minimum standard for patient safety in this sector.
As KCEN-TV reported, the law was designed to prevent “IV bars” from operating without the same clinical accountability expected in other medical services.
According to Lengea and Optimantra, the law establishes five key requirements:

By filing agreements with the Texas Medical Board, practices are entering a transparent compliance system. This improves trust with patients and insurers.
Elective IV therapy can carry risks such as infection, fluid overload, or electrolyte imbalance. Jenifer’s Law reinforces the need for proper evaluation, supervision, and emergency planning.
Jenifer’s Law is now active and enforceable in Texas. While it only applies to elective IV therapy, the law reflects a broader trend: regulators are paying closer attention to med spas and wellness clinics.
By aligning your clinic with these requirements, you not only avoid penalties but also strengthen your credibility as a safe, compliant, and patient-focused provider.
At Qualiphy, we help clinics integrate compliance into their workflows so they can focus on growth, not red tape.
