The bill, S.B. No. 375, seeks to extend the expiration date of the Harris County Hospital District's authority to administer and operate a health care provider participation program. Specifically, it amends Section 299.004 of the Health and Safety Code to change the expiration date from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2027. This extension allows the district to continue its operations under the program for an additional two years.

The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the Texas Legislature. If it does not achieve this necessary vote, the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025.

Statutes affected:
Introduced: Health and Safety Code 299.004 (Health and Safety Code 299)
