SB 375 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the continuation of a health care provider participation program by the Harris County Hospital District.

SB 375 extends the expiration date for Harris County Hospital District's existing healthcare provider participation program from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2027. The bill modifies Section 299.004 of the Health and Safety Code to allow the program to continue operating beyond its original deadline. This directly affects the district's ability to maintain its current healthcare provider network without requiring new program design or funding changes. The legislation only extends the operational timeline for an existing program, with no new policy provisions or eligibility changes.
