IN RE:	HB3456 by Ashby (relating to the continuation and operation of certain health care provider participation programs in this state.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

The bill would allow for the administration of a health care provider participation program by a hospital district, county, or municipality that is currently not authorized to do so.

According to the Health and Human Services Commission, the bill would limit the ability of jurisdictions to generate revenue utilizing authority currently provided in Health and Safety Code, Chapter 300. While the implementation could result in a significant fiscal impact, the jurisdictions that would be limited are unknown and the fiscal implications cannot be determined at this time.

Local Government Impact

The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time.
