Relating to a grant program for hospitals to assist with certain costs incurred by families of chronically ill children receiving hospital care.

HB 2925 creates a state grant program for Texas hospitals to help families cover costs of food and parking while a chronically ill child receives hospital care. Hospitals can use grant funds to reimburse parents, guardians, or caregivers for actual expenses incurred at the hospital, provided the child has a designated chronic illness and the family meets Medicaid financial eligibility. The program requires hospitals to report annually on fund usage and will be reviewed every four years. It takes effect September 1, 2025, with rules to be established by the Health and Human Services Commission.
