Texas SB1934 regulates mandatory payments by local governments for health care provider participation programs.

Texas SB1934 amends the Health and Safety Code to establish rules for health care provider participation programs. It defines "qualifying local government" and allows such governments to set mandatory payments for institutional health care providers, subject to federal law compliance. The Health and Human Services Commission can require reductions or procedural changes if payments exceed limits. The bill prohibits payments that qualify as state taxes and does not authorize statewide assessments on hospitals.
