Amend CSSB 534 as follows:
      (1)  Amend SECTION 1, Sec. 531.0391, by adding a new
subsection (e) to read as follows:
      "(e)  Any contract entered into under Subsection (a) shall
not affect or infringe on any existing collection contract."
      (2)  Amend SECTION 1, Sec. 531.0392, by striking the
subsection in its entirety and substituting the following:
      Sec. 531.0392.  SUBROGATION AND THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT;
HOSPITAL PROVIDERS.  To the extent permissible by law, a hospital
provider may claim a right of subrogation as to any funds to which
the commission or a health and human services agency has a right of
recovery under Section 32.033, Human Resources Code. If the
hospital provider's claim for subrogation is based on an injured
recipient making a claim for damage from a third party tortfeasor,
the hospital provider's rights of subrogation are secondary to that
of the commission, may not be asserted directly or indirectly
against the injured recipient, and may only be asserted when the
injured recipient has fully recovered their actual damages from the
third party. The combined amounts received by the hospital provider
from the commission and the third party may not exceed the amount
charged by the hospital for the injured recipient's first 100 days
of hospitalization.
