Relating to ensuring certain adoptive parents may consent to medical care and access information regarding their child who is eligible for benefits under Medicaid.

HB 1060 ensures adoptive parents who adopted children from Texas' state foster care system (conservatorship of the Department of Family and Protective Services) and whose children qualify for Medicaid can legally consent to their child's medical care under Medicaid and access information about their child's benefits. The bill requires the state commission and Medicaid managed care organizations to provide adoptive parents with access to electronic systems and information sharing regarding the child's coverage, including communication with healthcare providers. It specifically applies to children adopted from state foster care with Medicaid eligibility. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, after any necessary federal approvals.
