Texas SB238 implements an express lane option for Medicaid and child health plan program eligibility.

Texas SB238 amends the Health and Safety Code to implement an express lane option for Medicaid and child health plan program eligibility. This option allows the commission to evaluate data from the supplemental nutrition assistance program to determine a child's eligibility. The commission must enroll the child if they meet eligibility criteria and provide notice and obtain consent from the child's parent or guardian.
