Streamlines deadlines for Health and Human Services Commission to submit reports to the Texas Legislature.

The bill modifies deadlines for certain reports required by the Health and Human Services Commission to be submitted to the Texas Legislature. It mandates that the commission submit an annual report every even-numbered year on the implementation of the system, quality-based outcome and process measures, and progress of quality-based payment systems. The commission must also submit a biannual report summarizing its efforts. The commission is required to implement provisions of this Act only if the legislature specifically appropriates money for that purpose.
