Senate Bill 46 amends the Government Code to require the Health and Human Services Commission, not later than July 1, 2006, to assess the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of using a single integrated benefits issuance card, multiple cards, or another methodology for consolidating recipient identification and benefits issuance for certain health and human services programs. The bill authorizes the commission to develop and implement the methodology if it is determined to be feasible and cost-effective, describes features the methodology may include, and lists requirements relating to the security of identifying and descriptive information of recipients.
