Texas HB76 implements an express lane option for Medicaid and child health plan program eligibility using data from the Supplemental Nutrition.

Texas HB76 amends the Health and Safety Code and the Human Resources Code to implement an express lane option for determining eligibility for Medicaid and the child health plan program. This option uses data from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to streamline the eligibility process. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission will evaluate this data to determine a child's eligibility for coverage. The commission must notify the child's parent, legal guardian, or custodial relative of the eligibility determination and obtain their consent before enrolling the child.
