IN RE:
HB2454 by Frank (Relating to reimbursement of health care services rendered by a health care provider for an inmate of a county jail or another county correctional facility.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 61 of the Health and Safety Code relating to reimbursement of health care services rendered by a health care provider for an inmate of a county jail or another county correctional facility. The bill would allow a county to credit an expenditure for an eligible resident toward eligibility for state assistance if the resident is an inmate of a county jail or another county correctional facility. Based on the analysis provided by the Department of State Health Services and the Office of Court Administration, it is assumed that the provisions of the bill can be implemented within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The Texas Association of Counties reported no fiscal impact to counties associated with the bill.
