Senate Bill 50 amends the Government Code to provide for the development of a uniform process compliant with the state's employment‑first policy to assess the goals of and competitive and integrated employment opportunities and related employment services available to an individual receiving services under an applicable Medicaid waiver program and to use the identified goals and available opportunities and services to direct the individual's plan of care. Among other provisions, the bill sets out a reporting requirement for the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and makes implementation of a provision of the bill by HHSC mandatory only if a specific appropriation is made for that purpose.
