Texas HB5155 continues a pilot program to improve care for pregnant women with opioid use disorder and their children.

Texas HB5155 mandates the continuation of the Maternal Opioid Misuse Model pilot program, which aims to enhance care quality and accessibility for pregnant women with opioid use disorder and their children. If the legislature does not allocate specific funds, the Health and Human Services Commission may use other appropriations. The Texas opioid abatement fund council must prioritize funding for this model. The program expires December 1, 2028, and a report on its benefits is due by December 31, 2028.
