Medicaid; delete repealer on provision requiring payments to border city university-affiliated pediatric teaching hospital.

SB 2033 would restore Medicaid reimbursement for inpatient hospital services provided to children under 21 at a specific border city university-affiliated pediatric teaching hospital. It deletes a 2024 repeal that had ended this payment requirement, ensuring the hospital continues to receive state Medicaid funds for eligible pediatric care. This change directly affects the designated hospital and its patients, maintaining existing coverage without altering broader Medicaid rules. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and would not have changed other Medicaid reimbursement structures.
