Texas HB1719 allows personal assistance services under the CLASS Medicaid waiver program at any time during a 24-hour period.

HB1719 amends Chapter 546 of the Texas Government Code to add Subchapter J-1, which pertains to the Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS) waiver program. The bill allows personal assistance services to be provided to recipients under the CLASS Medicaid waiver program at any time during a 24-hour period, as long as it is permitted by federal law. If a state agency determines that a waiver or authorization from a federal agency is necessary for implementing this provision, the agency can request the waiver or authorization and may delay implementation until it is granted.
