Relating to the continuation of health care provider participation programs in certain counties.

SB 1375 extends the expiration date for health care provider participation programs in specific Texas counties. It changes the default program deadline from two years after adoption to September 1, 2030, for counties meeting three criteria: having a population of 1 million or more, containing part of a 1 million+ city, or bordering a county with 2.5 million+ residents. This applies only to qualifying counties in the state’s most populous areas. The bill ensures these counties can continue administering health care programs under the existing framework until 2030.
