House Bill 651 |
House Author: Springer et al. |

Effective: Vetoed |
Senate Sponsor: Kolkhorst |
House Bill 651 amends the Health and Safety Code to provide for the creation and operation of a county health care provider participation program in a county not served by a hospital district or a public hospital.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "I have signed House Bill 4289, which grants counties, cities, and hospital districts the authority to establish a health care provider participation program. In light of House Bill 4289, House Bill 651 is unnecessary because it sought to achieve the same purpose and similarly would grant authority to establish these programs, but only for certain counties. I am grateful to Representative Springer and Senator Kolkhorst for working to address this important issue."
