HB 4421 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to available resources of certain state agencies to support and sustain peer-recovery organizations in this state.

HB 4421 requires seven Texas state agencies - including the Health and Human Services Commission, Department of State Health Services, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice - to identify and make available resources (like funding, training, or technical assistance) to support peer-recovery organizations. These organizations are defined as nonprofits run by people with lived experience recovering from substance use disorders or mental health conditions, delivering peer support services to others facing similar challenges. The bill mandates that each agency submit a biennial report to the legislature detailing these resources by August 1 of even-numbered years. This directly affects peer-recovery organizations seeking sustainability support and the individuals with substance use disorders or mental health conditions who rely on their services.
