Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB2744 by Paxton (Relating to the modernization of cardiovascular screening and prevention under the Texas Heart Attack Prevention Bill.), As Introduced
The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined due to uncertainty in the bill's implementation.
According to the Employees Retirement System, Teacher Retirement System, and the Health and Human Services Commission, the impact of the bill cannot be determined as the required coverage is for a medical benefit but within the framework of prescription drug benefits. Additionally, there is uncertainty in the conditions that would make an individual eligible to receive this coverage. As a result, the fiscal impact of the bill cannot be determined.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
